So my body guy has no experience with carbon fiber and hes afraid sanding it will leave scratches. Is he just supposed to use high grit to keep from it staying scratched for clear coat?

 

i really could use some imput i just ordered the trunk.

 

scuff it and clear it as normal.

 

Not trying to thread jack but why would you need to clear a new trunk lid

 

so the carbon fiber doesnt wash out and warp from the UV rays.

 

as said scuff and clear as normal. youll be fine, ive done it to a couple hoods.

 

alright my body guy is a long time family friend and just doesnt wanna **** up a 500 dollar trunk.

 

i use 1000 grit sand paper wet and a grey scuff pad. if your honestly worried about it use a light abrasive. i usually put 2 coats of clear, bake it, sand it down and clear it again to bring out a really deep look.

 

i hear ya, wet sand with 1000, clear then wetsand and buff and itll be glass

 

thanks, ill let him know, appreciate the help guys.
