My carbon fiber hood has some hazing on it and it looks very dull. does anyone know of a shop that would reclear coat it and make it just as new again? iv called a few places and they said they dont know how to work wit carbon fiber. and some places are charging me well over $200 to do it. So anyone know a place that does good work at a good price?

 

try macco can't hurt to try. it's really not hard sand clean and spray the clear.

 

keeep it out of the sun

 

i live in Arizona, there is not such thing here as keeping it out of the sun lol.

I keep my car in the garage most of the time, but there are those times when im at work and i cant cover it.

 

lol i was kidding but carbon fiber tends to turn yellow ish when it is in the sun for months/years im not sure the exact amount of time it takes. the new special edition z06 has a carbon fiber roof and too prevent it from turning yellow or w.e they research and crap and made this paint that they spray so it doesnt turn. its only 3 grand haha..ill try to find the article

 

talk is cheap. wheres the pic of this so called cf hood?

hey man thanks. ill try one of these first before going to the shop, but if i mess up ill just take it to the shop lol.

 

You just need to have it sanded and clear coated, wont cost you much. I used to re-clear the cf hoods out there for around 100-150 depending on the damage, hope that helps.

 

clear it. it'll take car of it

 

Yeah I contacted randode earlier today if he knew any shops I can get it done at and he refered me to his friends shop, and he's doing it for $100. So that's probebly the best I found so far. Maaco tried to charge me $270 n that's wayyyyyy to much. Gona get it done next thursday.

Thanks again randall for directing me to a place.
