Painting Carbon Fibre

MFKN3 · 07-08-2010, 07:09 PM

I'm getting a CF boot painted.

They have put down 2 coats + clear coat and there is a slight waffling pattern in the paint due to the CF.

Anyone have any experience with how to get rid of it?

The shop has suggested I install it, drive around in the sun over the weekend to see if it stays the same or gets worse, then on monday perhaps put more paint and clear on it to smooth things out
