For anyone that's done it, or has experience respraying clear coats. Do I need to get all the way down to the carbon fiber? Or is it enough to just remove all the damaged/chipped/detached stuff?

I don't want to get too close because I might end up taking some CF off, so leaving a tiny layer of completely intact clear should be fine, no?

I'd sand the remaining clear with 1500 or 2000 grit, then use a few coats of 2 part clear, 1500/2000 grit it, cut it, polish it, etc.

Well, I'm glad I got under your thin skin (for whatever reason).

And I've seen that thread. All it says is to sand down all the old clear. My topic asks whether this is really necessary, as in most clear repairs, you can roughen up the surface and respray, and in the case of chipped clear, just get the chipped stuff off.

Thanks for helping, though, and I hope you have luck getting that sand out of your vagina.

no need to be getting pissed off bro ive recleared and paint many cars even painted and recleared carbon fiber also wets sand thr cf until where u think chip is somewhat thinner shoot about 2 to 3 coats of clear let clear flash bout 15min between each coat let it get dry over night to be safe and wetsand with 2000 grit or 1500 once more and 2 more coat of clear it will look sick and the carboon will have even more depth and will pop more its pretty easy if uve done paint and body work

Thanks for the replies. I'll just suck it up and get all the old stuff off. Hopefully the layer of CF isn't too thin and I won't go through.
