can you all see my hood. I bought it from a friend of a friend. It got buffed and waxed. So the clear coat kinda got messed up. Has anyone else had this before? Does anyone know how to fix it? Maybe a guesstimation for a price too???

thanks

 

bring to a body shop for them to re-clear or sell it to me for cheap.

 

no way i could sell it. besides i got it for super cheap.
$50
Do you have any idea how to fix it w/o selling my ***** on the black market to pay a body shop??

 

just paint it red, 'cos natural carbon fiber is ugly.

 

re spray it with clear coat,is about your only option..

 

how does buffing and waxing ruin a CF hood?

did the guy use Sandpaper pad and Gravel wax?

 

wet sand and clear the hood. Also take a closer picture.

 

dont wetsand, just buff with a compound with a light grit to it, then glaze with the buffer then hand glaze then wax, takes some time but its the best way to do it.

whats wrong with wetsanding it? casey just did it to his cf duckbill and it came out fine, he even did it on the paint where there was some roughness, personally i would wetsand the whole thing very gently, then use some 3M rubbing compound, then clean it off, then wax it until you get the desired shinyness..............or if its reallllly bad wetsand it til its very smooth and clean it good and spray it with clear coat, you might wanna get a professional to do it if you dont have the resources, if so go for it

 

maybe this thread can help you out?

wetsanding must be done with EXTREME caution. Especially with CF, since it is not like a metal surface, if you go through the clear coat and into the fiber, basically, you're F'ed. With a metal surface, you just have to sand it all down, reprime, and repaint. Wetsanding is done to take the gloss off of a surface and make it smooth again. After done, it needs recleared.

He def. needs a closer pic. That hood hardly looks like a real CF hood from that pic. Just looks like a primered metal hood from here.

 

dog you need to figure out how to fix them ghetto *** wheels and tires, dont worry bout the hood, untill you fix those

 

Cant be completely fixed. Run it faded like that. My hood is somewhat similar. The price of the hood getting clearcoated to your liking might equal the price of a new hood.
