Hey all,

Anyone knows which place have confidence in paint removal from a CF material?

i do not want to overlay another layer to make it thicker.

E.g CF fender painted over with black paint.Now i want to remove the paint and show the CF.

Will the process be the same? e,g get aircraft/paint stripper - apply, rinse, repeat, reclear..

CheeRs!!

 

stripper shouldnt harm the carbon fiber if its made for fiberglass and doesnt contain methylene chloride.

 

Ahhh thats a tough one.. I would think it would mess with the carbon.. Lets get this guy some answers from someone who has done this...

 

i got that info from someone that does carbon fiber work for a custom yacht builder. im pretty confident that he knows what he is talking about

 

cool.cos my local paintshops ain't confident at all.

all mentioned it will be impossible to sand to a nice even finish and the paint remover will harm the carbon fiber.

 

most paint strippers will destroy carbon or fiberglass, thats why you have to buy one that fits the guidelines i posted.

 

right.do you have the product name or picture? need to get it if its being sold

guess that is the ONE reason the paintshops are not confident.

 

i dont have any specific ones, i havent had time to go look. if it specifically states "safe for fiberglass" and "doesnt contain methylene chloride" then it will be safe.

 

hmmm.... time to go hunting

thanks,at least i know its possible

 

asked ard,its gonna cost me close to $400 to remove the paint and have a thin overlay to be done.and its gonna take more than a week.. gonna skip this and spray to Electric Blue..
