I have a carbon fiber hood on my 3g and the clearcoat has began flaking off in a few areas. Is there anything I can do to repair this and make it look good again or am I just screwed.

Every once in a while you can find one cheap on ebay. NO name brands make them. I have a VIS on my civic and it hasn't peeled in the 6 years it has been on. I think the main prob I have with my accord is it sat for 7 months while I was waiting on diamond for parts. SHortly after the clear began peeling. If I would have taken care of it it probably would have lasted longer. No I have a car cover.
bump lol u will prolly end up sanding it but i have to tryOriginally Posted by ghettogeddy
They have went up a bit. They are about $400 on ebay but now they have colored carbon fiber hoods. $600 and I can get a red one that won't stick out as bad as the black. Now I just have to sell my 96 grand am so I can buy some parts.
Ya, my body man has a CF roof on his civic, and had the clearcoat start to peel cuz it was his first time working with CF, he sanded it down and recleared it and hasnt had a problem since.
