Your giving me motivation to repair mine....more reason i appreciate your video ... good job on the hood!!!
Thank you , use that motivation 💪
I'm going to be doing this same thing to mine. Lmao it's about time I work on it. Just I need to redo the resin on mine which is going to suck for me since it's not just the clear coat. The previous owner sanded too much and now you can feel the fibers so first will be sand a slightly more in other areas and then redo the resin then wet sand then clear.
It's hard work but satisfying being able to restore something with your own hands 💯
@@antbankzbruh very true. I hate the sanding tho it's sooo much work. The hood is looking so much better just now need to sand it and make everything even
That hood tho! Goals
Looks good been look for one as well
They pop up every once in a while but u have to jump on it
You’re supposed to put resin over carbon then do the clear. That’s why it looks so weird
Yea I was really hoping he used resin. It isn't easy to fix carbon fiber hoods
worst feeling in the world when you sand into the weave and it's just game over :(
😬 glad it didnt
@@antbankzbruh it's like playing Russian Roulette only more dangerous 😂
What grit are you using? Im doing this to my is300, I have a carbon fiber hood.
I was about to start using my power sander but I don't wanna mess up the carbon fiber.
I wish he said what he used. I'm going to use a p500. I don't want to cut into the weave. I'd rather take longer than risk running the hood. I'm going to stop at p800. The clear will still have enough tooth to stick to the hood and flow. Too smooth and the clear won't have anything to adhere to. I may be wrong but that's my logic. Let me know what you think?
Sooooo did you ever crack the bottom of the can and use the hardener?
Yea
@@antbankzbruh oh okay I didn’t see you do it that’s why I asked haha
@@alonzocates4742 hardener in the bottom of the can?
Think you can use an actual sander?
Wanted to go by hand to feel it and make syre i dont break the weave
Living in California with all that sun using a 1K clear will not make you a happy man . I'm sorry but that's6 going to look exactly like it did when you bought it. Good work but next time get a two part clear it will last a lifetime if prepped right
haha i think you sanded it a bit too much
Perhaps but it was in rough shape to begin with but didn't break the weave. Definitely alot better and came out good regardless at the end imo
What grit of sandpaper did u start and finish with?
I think 400 or 600 since it was bad
