Has anyone ever done this?, getting a CF hood and then painting it to match the car (going for sleeper style effect) has anyone done this is it possible? or will it cost an arm and a leg?

 

save your money! buy a fiberglass hood instead. they weigh about the same maybe like a pound off. the real reason people get CF hoods is to have that look. you can get a fiber glass hood off ebay for like 350 VS. 550.

 

oh but yes painting the CF one is possible, but i see it as pointless as stated in my pre post

 

been done many many times

 

indeed, get the fiberglass instead...

 

Most "carbon fiber" hoods are just a fiberglass hood with a single top layer of CF for the look alone. If you get a fiberglass hood it'll weigh about the same and cost less.

 

the hoods being sold have a clear gelcoat finish, it would be same as spraying any other fiberglass hood.

they are not "REAL" carbon fiber, its just a look

 

ding ding ding winnar!!!!

 

I just read it as he had access to this hood and was not buying it new

 

if he's getting it for FREE!! then just keep it CF and buy some head light covers to match it and then become the howtness

 

yeah u can paint over cf. Prep it up to 1000 wetsand ,Youl need to spray sealer with the color closest to ur base coat , then the base color, then clear
