My clear on my wing has yellowed a bit on top and the bottom corners have chipped away all of the clear coat down to the cf in 2 spots.

I took my wing into my bodyshop that i have good luck with and they quoted me 100 to sand down and re clear it.

I dropped it off and they started work on it. They started to sand down a little area to see how it would go and they are scared the carbon fiber will chip away and it will wreck the wing. What should I tell them to try as i have no experience with painting??

I have read that you need to go vary slow and work your way to 2000 grit with a sanding block to get the surface even. Also that you dont want to create heat so do not use a electric sander. Anything else I should consiter telling them.? I'm almost temped to try and do it myself.

 

If you sand/scuff/scratch the carbon fiber weave it will mess it up. Be very careful. I had mine done and it is better looking but not very good.

I hope your shop is better than the one I used.

Good luck

 

Thats what im scared about. I would rather leave it than have them make it look ****ty. I think ill have them sand it down a little bit and reclear it before they get to the cf. Idk

try it yourself

 

Any good shop should easily be able to make it look like new again, I had my trunk and wing redone and it came out great

 

I might have to do mine myself. My body shop did not want to attempt it. Instead, he just wanted to paint it black.

 

I was even thinking of the vinyl wrap! Mines just now starting to peel up and I've had it since 04

 

Im going to call them today and see what they came up with.
