HEY GUYS I HAVE A CARBON FIBER AND IT DOSENT HAVE THE GLOSS NO MORE WHAT SHOULD I DO?OR WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE NEW?

 

learn to use the caps lock button please

now to answer your question

go nuts

 

My bad just have a habit of using caps and would I have to sand it at all?

 

I bought my OEM CF hood back in '06 and still to this day, it is like when I got it new. I believe its because I stored it in the garage and away from the sun all the time til whenever I want to drive it around town. I believe it's from the UV Rays that destroys teh clear coat. Either what wolfy said or take it to an Autobody shop and let them do it; it'll look like new again once the shop finishes up.

Anyway, good luck!

 

you will probably have to sand or recondition the surface somehow depending on how bad the clear coat is pealed. if you dont it will still look like sheeot and just have some gloss to it.

 

Oh okay than I asked a shop and they said it would be like 150 to 250 depending what they have to do and he said that it would look like fish eyes lol idk wtf that means lol

 

If I. Sand it would it just be normal sanding or wet sanding?

 

When they say "fisheye" i'm thinking of Fisheye Lens like on camcorders. Lol. 150-250 isn't too bad; at least it'll look like new and shiny again.

 

Krylon or Rustoleum makes a rattle can of clear coat that is UV resistant.

 

Haha lol well its a good price but money is tight so I might use the spray can first lol

 

From a scale of 1 to 10 how good is the rattle can?

 

No idea. I've never had CF or tried to put a clear coat on it.

I am sure you could do a decent job with some appropriate prep work and I am sure it has been done before.

 

^^ x2!

 

Okay well ill give it a try and ill let you guys know how it comes out lol

 

Good luck!

Make sure you do some research before to get as prepared as possible. Also, be sure to post up before/after pics and even a DIY!

 

Yeah ill make sure of doing that..

 

wet sand using 1500+ grit then go to town with krylon clear coat gloss semi or flat dont matter just the sanding if u dont take the time to do it, it will come out look worse then wat u had it

 

alright bro thanks for the info..
