anyone paint CF body parts?
I asked one company before and they said you need to use a flex agent or something like that to keep the paint from buckling/cracking. In the long run a CF hatch may pay for itself by making your trunk struts last longer. $60 shippped is about the cheapest you can expect to get away with. Anyone know how much weight the CF hatch shaves? |

The hatch struts/lifters for $60 is what I am talking about. I am sure they wear out quick because of the excessive weight of the hatch. Why paint Carbon Fiber? Because it is butt ugly. It's fine for a track car, but looks bad on street cars. Looks like you've had an accident and are too poor to get your body painted. Weight is the only good thing about it. Why ruin the look of your beautiful paint job? That said, does anyone know what the weight difference is? This post has been edited by dutchboy: Jul 2, 2007 - 11:32 AM |
