Hi everyone,

I've recently got a carbon fiber bonnet, which had pretty bad laquer damage, I knew this before I bought it. But stripping the lacquer doesn't seem as easy as we'd hoped. Obviously I need to get this sorted before re-lacquering.
I really don't know the best way to go about this, someone recommended that I vinyl wrap it, but I really don't want to do that, otherwise I'd have just done the standard bonnet. Also, I don't want to damage the carbon.
Help please anyone???

Cheers,

Lee

 

Wet and dry mate and lots and lots of frary and water m8 it takes a long time it was 2 weeks for me

 

What about some sort of nitromors or paint thinners!! Not saying it works just wonder if it will be ok on carbon fiber and not wreck it!

 

Id be intrested to know any answers to this too, got a couple of small areas that need addressing on my frint splittter, ba$tard stone chips!

Been advised against using chemicals, most advice seems to be as Scoobyman said, 1500g wet and dry, with lots of soapy water and stacks of patience. Doesn't seem to be a quick way

 

I googled it and there was one that came up on an evo site said pick away what you can then smooth edges scotch brite it then clean the build up with lacquer then there was a finished pic ill go look again for link

Not evo Latvia doh.. Have a look

 

You need to open the linky some want logins.. You'll find it

 

I have try that way and it don't work to good looks lumpey to me but you can try but the way I have seed to do works well it just takes a long time

 

I have no idea hopefully someone in the know will find this and help you out..
Think it looks good because he's done the whole splitter..

 

It is for s size bits but b size bits no but a good find m8

 

Best thing to do will be to remove as much of the damage clear as poss if not all of it.

Due to the lay up you'll have resin then clear coat ontop.

Get a good rubber block and some 800 grit wet and dry, then a bucket of water and block the clear off. Try not to go through the gelcoat/resin.

Then you can re clear the parts.

Have a quick look at a guy from some one like carbon mods. Your basically doing the final steps of one of their processes.
