I don't like different colour/material bonnets. Each to thier own mate
Are you spraying ronals black too?
I think some black morrette headlights would look lush
I think it will look sweet with the ronals and carbon bonnet combo
So my carbon bonnet has sufford a bit over the winter no scratches it seems to have faded and gone cloudy.. Now should I have it mopped and leave it or should I mop it and laquer it? My paint guy says you don't laquer carbon?
Cheers Chris
He's a good painter he's been doing it for about 25yrs just not done carbon before.. Mine polishes up nice but I think it really needs cutting back some to make it shine
Have a word with these guys.Www.carbon mods.They might have something to help.
I've just bought a carbon bonnet for my phase 1 tonight. Didn't realise they needed that much care to be honest.
So a rub down with wet and dry paper, buff up and re lacquer?
Handy to know if mine ever does fade.
I think there worth it tho. They look good if he does a good job woody let me know what he used please mate
They will come back with a good polish too - be worth trying that before getting re-laquered etc
my old megane was the Demo car for Streamline Carbon so had loads of bits - any exterior piece of carbon will have been lacquered before sale (or should have at least) so should be protected from UV etc. If it does dull down its just like lacquered paint - harsh polish initially followed by softer polishes to bring back the shine
If the shine wont return then it would be a matter of flatting and relacqering
Streamline Carbon offer a rectification service - they arent cheap but it will be spot on afterwards
I found bumper gel used to bring my old carbon bonnet up well. Shame it didnt take the ripples out though lol
