is it normal for painted carbon fiber weave to show through the paint like that?

 

Red carbon fiber?

 

no such thing...

 

Varis makes different colored cf hoods...blue, red, yellow....

 

u can put Kandy or pearl over carbon but it wont come out that light ... it could be photoshopped .... anymore pcitures?

 

Are ya sure??? It's not all red, but it is carbon/kevlar.

In the case of that Nismo Fairlady, they take colored Carbon/Kevlar to make the hood, then they put a candy red coat over the top.

 

i love candy

 

Colored kevlar is nothing new.

 

dipped in semen.

 

cf with red pearl clear

 

thats red carbon

 

either its straight red carbon, or they coulda got straight yellow kevlar and just put red candy over it...the yellow under it would make some red pop like that..

 

A 100% carbon fiber cloth can only be black. Since carbon fiber is made from carbon (obviously), carbon is naturally black.

The "colored carbon fiber" cloths that you guys are talking about, are actually called "hybrids" and are made from carbon fiber and another composite such as kevlar, fiberglass, etc.

 

LOLOL!!!

 

you can paint a fake *** carbon fiber hood or anything for that matter look at youtube they have alotta ways to do it

Its colored kevlar

 

it looks red.

 

yeah looks like kevlar painted with red to have a lighter base

 

It can be done but it costs BIG money! I work with prosthetics (amputees) and we can virtually do any colour we want!

 

that has existed since the 80's. the ferrari f40's came all factory painted red but if you looked at the car up close you will notice that its actual carbon fibre/kevlar body with a light coat of red paint to reduce weight. from far however it looks like a red car. you cannot put candy ontop of cf overlay and make it look like hte pic above. the only way to do that effect is to put one coat of regular 2 stage paint on.

 

The F40 is slightly different...as you said, they just put the paint on really, really thin. The Z above is a different story.

 

Looks unique.

 

you are all wrong, it is red aluminized fiberglass. It is a fiberglass that has been electronically charged to take red aluminum

It is the same thing as what is advertised as silver carbon but red. Carbon is black.. There is no way to make carbon into any colors. If you see a hybrid that is red and black then the carbon is the black and kevlar is the red since that will take dyes.

Here is an example of some blue
