primered carbon fiber hood

[errolorion]

when i got my s13 someone before me thought it would be a good idea to paint a big square on the perfectly good carbon fiber hood.
i, of course, do not think this was a good idea and now that it is my car, i would like to remove it
it was flat black primer spray paint

any suggestions

Forget it just give the hood to me save you the headache...j/k

try buffing it down and applying new clear thats what we did for my friends FD. but were big on doing body work if anything take it to a shop and ask them how much to sand/buff it down and Reapply a clear coat

[Firestorm]

sand down the upper layer of clearcoat, clean, then paint over with clear coat again.

should work ;)

wow, what a tool for spraying flat black onto a CF hood.

[miravete]

just grab a 2000grit sand paper and sand it down...and then buy the can of clear and do it yourself lol...save yourself some money...or whatever lol

get a huge print out sticker/vinyl of a hot bloke and lay it on. now you have aSEXY HOOD.

[down_shift]

paint it body color. done.

Body color carbon is really teh way to go, IMHO. Carbon hoods (unpainted) better be on a full race car, or a stock Honda.

[mifesto]

yeah sanding... well start alittle stronger then 2000 grit or you will be on it for days lol. maybe wetsand from 1000 ---> 1500 ---> 2000 ... something like that. then clear it.

Painted my CF hood and hatch the same as the rest of the car. Whenever I open one or the other I always get "Whoa, that's carbon?" comments. :D

LOL. True story.

Driving around socal I see unpainted body kits, mismatched fenders, and just utter nastiness all over. Yet for some reason when it's carbon fiber, even though it mismatches, it's cool? :P

[SILEIGHTY_DET]

would you be able to use some brake clean or carb cleaner to take off most of it ? if it is just primer , then i wouldnt see why not . if you had to sand after then it would be minimal . i think it would work , but i have never done it on carbon , it might oxidze the the clear coat or appoxy .

why did the person primer over it ? did they have to use body filler somewhere on the hood ? good luck
