hopefully they send some instructions, but for a primer:
lids need to be post-cured, install on car and put car out in sun or use special heat lamps @ the body shop for a day.... you should not use the factory front coil springs or the factory rear torsion springs.....prop rod or softer coils springs or gas-charged springs should be used if you want to leave the hood unpainted for everyone to admire/scoff at, it must have a clear coat sprayed onto it....he said it must be sanded 1st before spraying the clear ...ouch, that makes me nervous (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) the lids (mine at least) are being made this week, hopefully in 2 weeks time, they'll show up for me to swoon over (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) |

When clearing over bare carbon fiber just take a red Scotch-Brite pad and scrub the surface down. When you are done wipe it down with degreaser/surface prep solvent and let dry. When you spray just lay the clear on like another parts.
When I paint bikes most of the carbon is left natural. I always use these techniques and have never had a part come back or the clear come off. |
