Guest EncoreWRC Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I need to find someone in the south that can repair a scratched Carbon Bonnet. Do you know anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 surely its any bodyshop, just try and sand out the scratch and lacquer the bonnet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EncoreWRC Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I would do if it was painted but its an expensive cock up if I get it wrong. I do paint work as a hobby but not willing to risk the bonnet. Most bodyshops know nothing about carbon bits. They wont touch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Nice person that keyed it for you. Im pretty sure dave haggas does carbon repairs, but more serious stuff. I think thats more of a body shop job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 yeah but carbon has the layer of gel over the top then a few layers of clearcoat no? So i doubt it would be down to the sheeting? so its just a blast over with new clearcoat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EncoreWRC Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Its not down to the fibre - just in the hard coating - but body shops dont see to want to try it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 All you can do is try and buff it out. If it's lacquered you can then relacquer it. Otherwise just paint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
