Autobody Shop/Painting Near Me ? Issue with Painting Carbon Fiber Hood? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Nice! So is the CF weave perfectly aligned so you can just leave it with the clearcoat?
I know some production CF parts are not meant to look "perfect" in use so some get painted.

And I would imagine that some problems that come from painting is not removing the mold release agent (PVA) from the part thoroughly during paint prep.

I want one for venting the under hood heat from my turbo kit and no one makes a decent fiberglass one.

Just as others have said, take it to another painter because the person you have looking at it shouldn't be handling paint equipment let alone a carbon hood.
