Im looking to buy an evo around my area, and the one that i like the most has real bad paint wear on the wing. Was wondering how much it would cost to repaint or what the best way about going about it would be

 

this is a very common problem with evo wings...at least ones that arnt taken care of. The most ive ever been quoted is 250...or less...i still havnt done it but will. you're paint is fine cause it's carbon fiber not paint. you just need to re-clear the top. ask around and show them, it wont be much

 

happy i never had this problem all it takes to keep up the wing is 2-3 times of wax per year and in between waxing put detailer spray on it.

 

Mine was real bad when I got the car. It's an easy DIY(if you know what your doing),took me only a few hrs & looks like new.

 

mine was done... you just need to keep it waxed.
shouldnt be more than 200 to fix

 

Had my first wing replaced by dealer and the second time just had it cleared for 210.

 

welcome to having an evo..... it just so happens to be one of the common problems with evo wings, they all have sun spots over time. not really a problem and doesnt cost too much to either have replaced or re-done

 

Mine had that problem too when I bought it. Got them to knock some money off the price too because of it. Fixed it for like $30 or so for the paint and paper etc. Here's some before and afters... It was pretty bad lol...

lol nice job.

 

+1 Dont waste your money paying someone else to do it. I just wet sanded mine and used two cans of clear coat. The sanding of mine was the most time consuming part cuz it was pretty bad. Its worth taking the time to unbolt it and take it apart, prep, spray, sand, and spray rather than pay someone $200+ for them to do it. Whole process took me like 30 minutes of actual work and an afternoon of playing COD4 for the down time involved with 3 coats or clear. Whole thing cost me $15

 

im more afraid ****ing up the clear coat

 

The clear coat is already screwed up on it, so its just a matter of smoothing it for the clear. Wet, fine grit sand paper more patience than elbow grease and you shouldnt screw up the CF

 

The CC on my wing has been messed up for some time now. I've got 99k miles on my car currently.
The paint protection warranty is too 100k miles I believe, so I need to get to the dealer ASAP to get it taken care of...

 

Friend of mine owns a body shop.. only cost me 80 dollars to have mine recleared.

 

If the car is still under warranty then your dealer should be able to replace it for you.
