I have a cf spoiler and the clear coat is started to fade and wear. I was wondering what type of clear coat to use. Is there any special type. Im prob going to wet sand it down and re spray it. Just curious on what type of clear coat you guys would recomend.


Impulseballer you might be able to give me some advice on this 1.

i think you would be best off to try and polish it first

I dont think it had clear coat on it to start with. I believe most carbon fiber parts ship with a gel coat, which does eventually wear away, as it is not near as durable as clear coat.

I've got the same question as the op. Before I go CF, I want to know how to take care of it later on. Anybody know where to get the clear coat for these things?

You can use regular clearcoat. Or apply a thin layer of epoxy over it be sand it to a smooth finish. Apply clearcoat. Sand that down with 2000 grit sand paper and polish

Where can you buy clear coat? I never see it anywhere.

any hardware store, any auto parts store, lowes, home depot, etc. if you have never seen it it's because you have never looked

I had the same problem, mines got a couple scratches in it. If you know anyone at a body/paint shop, just have him throw it in with a car already getting clear coated.

Yes. Auto zone ,pep boys, anything similar like those stores

Okay, thanks for the leads. I'll try looking around some more.
