I want to get the DV hood with the vent in the top and it is only in carbon fiber. Can you paint carbon fiber to be the same color as the car and not tell the difference in the hood from fiberglass..i have a hot lava also..... any help appreciated....also i did search and could not find my answer.

TheIcon

Sure can. Almost did the same thing myself but found a hood I liked that was plain fiberglass.

Im sure some of the carbon fiber lovers will cry though

Hell yes - I did this on my last car and I plan on doing it on this one.

Just put a few layers of clear to make it smooth, and it looks very nice

MrMcNuggett

Cool ....sorry carbon people.....Got to paint the hood....That is my next mod..

TheIcon

lol go for it.

SquallLHeart

how about candy coating the hood instead, if you're just worried about the CF color clashing with the rest of the car?

but yeah... up to you.. some people like the CF look, some don't..

Hey Donny, paint part of the hood and leave part of it CF around the scoops. Then clear the whole thing.
We got to get together soon Bro!
