I've heard of these hoods fading over time. Have any of you guys gotten your carbon fiber hoods clearcoated?

 

if im not mistken most of them come with a clear-coat already on them....do you mean an extra coat?

 

i just wax mines more often...the winters coming so i'll let u know how it goes, it gets real cold in jersey.

 

i paint cars and when i do a car with a cf hood i always sand it down with 600 grit and water and put 2 coats of clear for UV protection to be safe...i have seen a lot of hoods that have faded......hth

 

ive seen it done many a time! ! i have a friend who used a silver pearl and put tribal flames on his hood (could still see the CF through the pearl). the recleared it and it looks great.

also ive got a friend who put vinyl on the hood...took it off and the clear came off with the vinyl. he had the hood sanded and recleared. you'd never know the difference
