has anyone else had their carbon fiber hood fade to the point where all the clear coat is gone and its just dull and ugly? i certainly have, and its ruining the look of an otherwise beautiful car. I have what looks like a VIS knock off W-style hood that the previous owner installed and im sure it looked great then but now....not so much. has anyone tried to polish carbon fiber or better yet how does it take to paint if i were to get a quart of BB and spray it to match the car. any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. here is a pic of the ugly hood:

 

All you have to do is get it re-cleared then buffed... it should look fine after...

You've been leaving that car in the sun huh Timmy?

will make your cf hood look like new

 

thanks for the link im going to try that stuff out, and if i dont have any luck with that then ill go for the reclearing. its been hard to get booth time at my buddys shop so im going to make that a last resort. the car has been in my garage since ive gotten it, the previous owner is the one who left it under heat lamps or something lol.

 

make sure you use a pc or udm, doing it by hand will generate unsatisfactory results.

 

exact same hood i have, glad mine is still shiny and new, get it recleared.
