when spraying clear, it is important to spray it until it is 'wet' looking but not dripping. The example given here will not give gloss.

There’s some really bad tips here tbh. From what he used, the method and even his buffing was TERRIBLE. What he used won’t make it past a year with out fading and doesn’t even look clear. 2k clear would be better, slowing his hand down would’ve made it glossier and maybe not even need to be wet sanded. If you chose to wetsand, do not add wax or fillers for month Is recommend by most body shops

Thanks for this. I'm currently redoing a carbon fiber spoiler and was just about to spray

@vinobinoruiz7026 2 года назад

this worked soo good , i actually didnt even try at all and it still came out looking great it used to be really faded only thing i recommend is put the spray can outside in the heat or in warm water then shake them good or else you get dry spots , thanks again for this vid!!

I live in a desert area and CF parts clear coat fade too much until I used nano ceramic after giving it to the body shop.

@jonienglish3231 6 лет назад

This stuff will not last !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! spray Max 2 k clear coat much better

@Kevin-ic2uj 4 года назад

Joni is right. 6 dollar can of clear will last you maybe a month lol. Spraymax 2k ($23) is a 2 part clear where you need to activate it with a button underneath the can. Its professional grade and works great for small parts such as fenders and spoilers.

@pychokilla8148 3 года назад

@Vince Vince I would ceramic coat it or wax/polish it.

@stephenwhite5444 3 года назад

Actually I painted some areas of a GMC Yukon with Maxx 2k clear and some places have Dupicolor clear. The 2k was toast after a year and the Dupicolor lasted closer too 2yrs.

for my hood only the middle part is fading, do I still sand out the whole hood or only the middle?

Hi I have an electric skateboard that has a carbon fiber deck that I gauged trying to scrape off some very silicone stuff the prior owner sprayed on the board. It seems like I gauged the glossy part not the fibers which appear to be deeper, will this method work for filling in these gaps or gauges?

@PrestonlikesitRuff 2 года назад

Clearcoat needs something to bond to, without proper scuffing it won't last. 1500 is Grit too fine. Try 600 Next Time and yield better results.

@Phuong_Nguyen_ Год назад

Yes 400-600 right?

@jasonwoody8041 2 года назад

1500 grit is far to fine before a clear coat. 600grit max. The clear needs something to grab hold of to last a long time.

@Gone_Rogue300 2 года назад

Mines is in terrible shape. I don't know what to do next. You have an email I can show you? Or I can post a quick video on my channel. I'm about to get it wrapped

@ziaulhaqkarimi5442 3 года назад

After 24 h drying, wet grinding with 3000 sandpaper or grinding without water ?

@JuanHernandez-ee9ze 3 года назад

When it's really bad do you start with 600 grid or lower Or 3000, 2000, 1500 then go from or what

@KevinReillySV 3 года назад

Start low go high higher grit is finer to smooth the surface out

@jdmchickkustomz9417 4 года назад

Okay so I got a used hood real cheap carbon fiber. It is busted cracked everywhere and the clear coat is peeling. Like fibers are actually showing in some of the busted areas. What do I repair the busted areas with? I don't know if I can repair the carbon fiber or just repair the hood and paint it or wrap it. HELP

@elliottregoning8967 5 лет назад

I don't know if you were using a way lower % of alcohol when you wiped it down before hitting it with the 3000 grit sandpaper, but when I tried to sand and re-coat (after letting it dry for 48 hours), it got all sticky as if it wasn't fully dry yet -- using the same type of clear coat as you. When I went to the hardware store to look for different types of clearcoat (like a faster drying one) I explained to one of the workers there what I was doing and he said I shouldn't be using alcohol to remove sanding dust -- I should be using a tack cloth. Other than that, it seems to be coming along okay.

@tedydiaz6314 4 года назад

Bro you should let dry the alcohol lol or how many gallons of alcohol did you used?

@j.a.3138 3 года назад

you don't re clearcoat after sanding. all you needed to do was to put compound then polish it

HOW DO I REMOVE OEM APPLIED SPOILER THING FROM MY AMG? Maybe fishing line and a heatgun?

@TKDPandaa Год назад

well most spoilers are drilled into the trunk, can you not find the bolts when u pop the trunk?

@datura_boof Год назад

Well i should probably check. I need my whole car retinted either way. Maybe ill have them check. . I work under the hood, not on thr body

@@TKDPandaa figured as much but regardless. Only reason i would even think of pulling it is becsuse the clear coat over the carbon fiber went to sh**

@irianaaa._ 3 года назад

3 yrs later maybe for anyone else who might be asking the same thing, you don’t have to. You can just sand whatever you have to but make sure to blend it a little with a higher number sand paper so that it’s not spotty

How about carbon fiber on exhaust/mufflers?

@clayrodgers7744 3 года назад

Most of these don’t last... exhaust gets super hot... most burn the clear right off...but if you catch it quick enough and it’s a sleeve that can be taken off to sand and polish then yeah you can Refinish it

@noddylloyd 2 года назад

Did you try your exhaust? Thinking about doing my own one. Wondered how it came out if you did.

@MoneyClipBeatzTheProducer 4 года назад

@theheadllama9802 Год назад

when you spray move your arm from left to right, not your wrist. Moving your wrist like that will never give you an even finish. 1500 grit is not coarse enough for the clear coat to grip. I would go with something better instead of the Rustoleum can your using.

@johnnobravo1978 4 года назад

This so hard on a carbon fibre bonnet lol. I could only get 400 , 800 , 2000 and 3000 grit and same clear coat as you. But my bonnet was like rough as i wish i could upload a before photo. The only part i suck at is when doing the clear coat i get like a dry area from the can. This is the only thing i dont like about using pressure pack / rattle cans

@ThEDIPPA1 4 года назад

You have to put the can in hot water for a few minutes to make sure it’s loosen up inside. Then throughly shake upside down for at least a minute before you start spraying. Then shake after every pass.

@squermdog330 2 года назад

My carbon trunk is ashy and ugly. When I pour water on it, it looks nice and shiny. Should I not sand it and just clean real good and clear coat? Or do you still recommend I sand?

@TKDPandaa Год назад

the clear coat is faded, the only way to get it to look nicer again is to wet sand and put more clear coat on. yes you can oxidize the existing clear coat but that wont last that long

@living9377 4 года назад

Should have used 2k clear coat. Ive used that spray and it is crap

This will not work!! You can't give shine from 3000 grit and wax. Is impossible!!

@2quick2c35 6 лет назад

N then u do this 3 months later again until the end of life . Prob better to apply the real apoxsee resin .

@diviniti 6 лет назад

Ray Ramos the resin is still on the surface. CF parts should always have clear coat applied to prevent the resin from fading.

@MrA42000 3 года назад

Not bad. I'm not a pro but I've seen that it's better practice to spray horizontally in a sweeping motion to cover the surface more evenly. Also I've read that 400 to 600 grit sandpaper is better to make the clear adhere better. People think you'll see the scratches but you won't.

@j.a.3138 3 года назад

i have used 600 and it did not go deep to remove the scratches. Used 400 and i managed to remove them. Then I used 1500 to smooth it out. after 5 layers of coat, i used 2000. looks brand new

@MrA42000 3 года назад

@@j.a.3138 Nice thanks for sharing what worked for you. I'll try to remember that if I clear again in the future 👍
