I know that is your hood so I'm sure your fine with buffing out the scratches after sanding but if I was a customer I would be pissed. That area would be thinner in paint than the rest of the hood, therefore that area would fade quicker too later on.

@ryukoysusei4 жыл бұрын
Carbon fiber parts are sealed inside clear resin so they are naturally glossy. You can't have a "natural carbon fiber, as carbon fiber parts are made up of multiple sheets of carbon fiber weave layered on top of each other with resin sealing them to each other.
