Carbon hood - Toyota Corolla Levin, 1.6L, 1993
I bought a carbon fiber hood, it is very light compared to the standard one by 4 times lighter, the only thing it has cracked in places is the varnish, so the question is how to fix it? Just like on a regular varnish, scrub and fill with a new varnish, or it is easier to paste over 3D carbon film
Price tag: 6 500 ₽
well, I also think that there is no need to rush, we will try to update the varnish, the car is still worth painting
for 6500 a carbon fiber hood is a dream)) try to cover with varnish with a film you can always paste over
thanks Dimon))) I'm in no hurry right now, by the way yesterday, by the way, I ripped off the moldings from him, I will level the doors and fenders, now the sides will be even))
There is no need to cover the already carbon fiber hood with a carbon film, you have time, take your time, do it! =) It will be perfectly combined with the new color! ;) Well done =)
I know, but we will think about how to fix it, I really hope that everything will turn out at the highest level. tell me more about how to properly polish it, otherwise I've never encountered carbon fiber
smolder?
this is a difficult case, curable by deep "strong" washing and again polishing ... :(
it is scary to imagine such beauty under the film, even 3d courbon
the cracks will not work very deep and, moreover, the old ones already start to turn yellow between them
damn honestly, I did not face such a problem, if it started to smolder or something like that, then a good sink, such as "karcher", will remove all the dirt, then polish and possibly cover (restore) the varnish ... I don't know anymore what help = (
Do not try to cover the carbon fiber hood with carbon-like film :)
And the film does not look like that. The interior is still normal, but outside, like something like a collective farm ...
Try to rinse, as yakov said, then remove the top layer of varnish, only gently, and then varnish. Well, at least I would do that, IMHO :)
