Morning all,
I managed to get myself a free carbon effect hugger, its abit faded yellow in places so before I install it I wanted to either paint it or get it relaqured if that's a thing? I'm not up on my Bodyshop knowledge so unsure what is achievable. Please see attached.
Thanks
you sure that is carbon fibre effect look awfully like real carbon from here
to re clearcoat it you need to flatten it with 800 grit wet & dry paper and once smooth wipe with panel wipe and then apply the clear coat (lacquer) - if using rattle cans then take your time building up coats but this may leave it slightly dull so you will need to polish it with compound or spend a while t cutting it to get the sheen back
best finish would be to get some one with painting equipment to clear coat it - this way you will get a really good deep finish
Hope this helps fella
read this post it may help :)
