okay., i know there's a thread somewhere out there on this, or someone's had this problem. but ive had my evo spoiler for like 5 or 6 months. Anyways, the clear coat in certain spots is coming off seems like, and i would like to know how to fix it w/o damaging the carbon fiber...or should i just like buy carbon fiber vinyl and wrap it with that to cover up the flaws? it only shows up in Direct sunlight and under florescent lighting.

Check under 'How to' section. There is a thread for how to make your wing all carbon fiber.

You can sand down the section very carefully and then buff it out. Make it shiney!

 

DON'T wrap it in vinyl!!

I don't know what the other thread says, but I would sand and re-clearcoat it.

 

i'm not doing it myself - knowing ME, i would damage the spoiler, but a lot of ppl charge wayyyy much for this sorta stuff. and why not wrap it in vinyl?

 

It'll looks tacky, IMO. It won't solve the problem.

Do you know anyone in the area who is a DYI guy? They might be able to help you out. Another option would be to take it to a shop and have them sand/clear it.

 

take it to the dealer. i'm having mine replaced under warranty this week. first it starts to look funny then it peels, or flakes off.

 

Take it to someone that does fiberglass work. i.e. Corvette shop or something. They should be able to do it for you

 

Please don't cover that beautiful thing in vinyl.

Maybe have it reclearcoated? Don't know how much you want to spend on the fix...

 

well i dont have an evo. so it's not under warranty=(. actually thats HOW i got the spoiler for only $250. it came from a guy who just boguht an evo back in xmas, and the clearcoat was coming off, and he was under waranty so they got him a new one...i had a guy do some re-clearcoating, but i dont think it helped. its starting to come back...thats why i have this thread..maybe i'll take it to a fiberglass shop or something

 

They put a clearcoat over the resin? If the resin is damaged...that's really annoying. If it's clearcoat it should be a relatively easy fix.

 

yeah i thought this guy i paid - FIXED it, by sanding it down and re=applying clearcoat- is what he said he did, and i know he did SOMETHING, cause it didnt look HALLLLLLLLF as bad, but its still visible. and i want crystal clear wing.

 

Take it to a body shop and ask them if they can fix it?

 

um, take it to a shop and make sure they sand that **** down.... then apply nnew clear...

 

So...is it clearcoat or is it resin?

 

I would try to have ir professionally done. I wouldn't want to risk messing up carbon fiber
