Carbon Fiber

So sorry for being a car noob but i had to ask this. Will wet carbon fiber like the VIS or Seibon trunk fade overtime even if you put clear coat on it?

Yup it sure will, will take a hefty clear coat and maintenance to keep it glossy if the car sits outside most of the time.

Resins are getting more UV stable, but still not perfect.

Once I finally get the cf hood I want, I'll eventually paint or wrap it. Carbon fiber with no protection tends to fade or yellow.
