Exclamation Request Some Carbon

I have searched and haven't found anything. I was wondering if people could post up pictures of their Carbon Fiber hoods with the middle left Carbon and the sides painted the color of the car coming right off the lines of the headlights.


Thanks

VIS Tracer Carbon hood. Got it used and badly damaged, yellow and dull. Sanded with 400 grit under the painted side for adhesion. Used 20 grit sandpaper to remove clear coat/resin all the way down to the fibers for the carbon side. Color matched then cleared with High build clear coat. No fish eyes or pin holes so im pleased on how it turned out.
This was my first attempt at spraying a carbon hood!

That came out impressively nice except for the colors not matching or it's just the angle of the photo

Very unique, but I think having the entire hood be cf looks better.

Yea it’s the angle. The Micah and metallics in the graphite tend to change quite a bit in different angles and lighting. It makes me look twice also!
