I am just curious to what it should cost?
rough estimate to prep and paint a CF hood.
its Saturday, and no shops are answering the phone.....

 

ehh $200-300

Do it yourself man (if you have acess to a compressor). It will cost a fraction of what a shop will charge, and its a great learning experience.

I was getting around 400 dollars, the shops kept telling me thay have to spray the fenders as well so it matches.

Why did you even bother with that? Oh! To bump your 10,000 Post ***** Factor!


Thanks Mike! Youre the 2nd person that told me to do it myself! I am going to give it a whirl......again! Orbital sander? Any suggestion on what GRIT to start with to strip old spray paint from the CF hood? I am just wanting it FLAT BLACK. I love how it keeps the glare out of my face on the RoadCourse.

 

Is the hood in good condition, or is the clearcoat oxidized?

If it is infact in good condition than all you need to do is scuff the surface with this the picture below and a GRAY 3M pad.




EDIT: the stuff that is pictured is about 15-20 bucks a bottle, and a gray pad is only a couple bucks.

 

Its has a couple coats of Flat Black on top of Scuffed Carbon Fiber right now

dude if he doesn' do **** like this he couldn't reach 25 posts a day.

to no useless honda-tech post ******

****
i got my hood painted for $200 but it was not a cf hood, hope that will help.

 

anywere between 200-350
prep the hood ur self nd just bring it to the shop to have them spray it for u if u dont have access to a compressor

 

yeh just do it yourself you'll save $200-$300 and put that into some gofast parts

 

well the shop thats telling you they have to paint the fenders too so it matches is right. unless your car is black or you want the hood a differnent color you'll need to blend the fenders to get a good color match.

 

Duffm4n is only maken sense...This post is useless either take it down monday and get a quote or do it yourself.
