^ But the clearcoats they use on bare OEM carbon fiber, especially on higher end cars like those, are FAR better. The clearcoat on my Evo's stock carbon fiber wing held up pretty well for being a thin coat. But the clearcoats on the more expensive stuff is pretty solid. I remember reading something about the clearcoat used on the Corvette ZR1's carbon fiber roof costing $60,000 PER GALLON (and I just looked it up), so that is probably made to last. Having seen a ZR1 on Monday and touched the roof, it did feel like quality work made to last. And that also explains why going with a Veyron but just keeping a clearcoat rather than selecting a color adds a couple hundred grand.
