are there any shops around the area that will gel coat or clear coat an oxidized carbon fiber hood? approximately how much will it cost?

I can do it on the side for you, I've cleared carbon fiber and am a fabricator. I could do it somewhat cheap but I can't say unless I see it.

where are you located at? it would be awesome if you can take a look at it. thanks. it's in pretty rough shape. i tried wetsanding it and rattle canned 4-5 coats of clear on it. it looked good for a month then it got real bad. my hood is basically white right now.

I'm in doylestown, let me know I'd be down to look at it

ouch.. the spray can clear was a bad idea

lol. it can be fixed though. i too can do it for you. my price would be very reasonable and your clear will be quality name brand and nibbed/buffed

from what i've seen him post, evomike seems to be a good choice as well, i'm just trying to give you another option. i'm in 10 minutes from pottstown, pa. anything will be better than faded rattle can!

Lil off topic and feel free to PM me an answer if you don't want to post here but do you paint as well? I'm looking for someone to possibly respray my interior while my hatch is gutted. It's starting to get some surface rust inside that I wanna clean up before I make my final decision to do an interior or leave it gutted. I'm in Wyomissing, PA also...where you from?

my hood is pretty bad also, i might have to look into you guys for helping me out with getting it fixed up!

People, take care of your ****.

Wax. Compound. SOMETHING!

I agree with you Mr. James P... If there is pollen all over the car and i'm in to much of a rush to clean it or to lazy, I always manage to get that hood worked out

The gel coats on most carbon fiber hoods is not nearly as durable as a clear coat. If your car is daily driven, after a few PA winters no amount of wax is going to save you.
