Title: matte carbon
Post by: irridium on September 22, 2011, 01:30:06 PM
Is there a simple way to change finishes on carbon fiber parts?  I like the CF but not too keen on the gloss, prefer a more subtle look.

Yep, Matt clear is what I have done to the front fender, But spray it on too thick it can have a milky look to it.

carbondry looks amazing, but $480 is a bit steep for the front fender...

Not if the loss of a couple of hundred grams is important.

Depends on what you're talking about.

Cocaine?  A couple hundred grams is pretty important.
