hello 6gcers! I'm going to keep this short and simple.
here's my S2k:  from a far it looks ok.. but when you get up close.. You'll see this:  thats like a 7inch scratch.. someone key'd my hood and it totally sucks balls.. Its a deep one too but don't think its on the CF, hopefully how do I fix this without damaging the Carbonfiber? do you think its a good idea to just sand it down and then try to reclear it? thanks it advance! -------------------- [color=#FF0000] I MISS MY RED BABY =(

easy fix man, sand out the scratch only, get some epoxy resin and with that end of the hood lifted till its level then useing a seringe pore the epoxy evenly over the srcatch and place a plastic wrap firmly and evenly over it to spredit out and make it level with the sides. let dry for 24 hours. there are probably easyer ways to fix it but that would be the best in my opinion as it would restore it to new rather then putting other kinds of fillers or polishers in it.
although looking at the pics its really not deap, nut if you just sand it down would ne un even without thic clear coat over it This post has been edited by creis: Aug 28, 2006 - 10:26 PM --------------------  |
