self explainatory.....
anyone have input on this, can it be stripped and recleared without ruining it???

 

I could use some input on this also

 

I'm not a gel coat expert, but I've talked with a few friends about it who have played with that type of thing.

The best of my understanding is this:

You can sand or wet sand the paint off, but you'll get down into the top clear/gel coat. Once all the paint is off (as long as you didn't get down into the fibers) then you should be able to shoot it with a nice clear and have a nice looking hood again.

 

Try finding a bodyshop that can do that without screwing it up and then backing it up with a warrenty - I highly doubt you will. Most of the time bodyshops won't even accept that kind of intensive labour in the first place. It also may be cheaper just to get a new hood.


Best of luck to you tho!

 

I have had my CF hood recleared. It turned out great!

 

i think the price you woudl pay ot have it sanded off and recleared, u could probalby buy a new cf hood

 

to take the clear coat of of my hood and get it recleared only cost about $150. It looked brand new! And I got a warranty

 

yeah, it's possible. When you get it done, make sure they use UV resistant clearcoat...that way it won't turn brown over time.
