Hello! First of all, awesome video, super informative!, I know this video was uploaded like 4 years ago but hope you can help me, my hood has a very very small crack on the clear coat like a half of an inch size or smaller (also it's faded) so I going to try to restore it. My question is, any recommendations about the crack, I saw a couple of videos where they use epoxic resin on the cracks..but I'm not experienced using it. Do you think that the sand it process and reclear will fill the tiny crack? Thanks!! Regards from Zapopan México !
Question?? My carbon fiber hood isnt thst bad, but I can begin to see that foggy effect on the hood, I use wet sand at 3000 sand, but how many times should i sand it?? And when ur done with the clear coat? I have to resand the clear coat as well?? Help please??
Gonna try this on some diffusers we made very poorly last year. I am worried there is too much peeling and delamination for it to look decent. Surely it will look better than it does now though. Thanks for the vid.
@@BisforBoost the issue is that the surface is so rough that when I spray it with water it delaminates more. Ain't gonna look pretty just wanna see if I can salvage it without repainting.
I'm refinishing my 95 neon carbon hood. It had decent sized cracks in it which I fixed with resin. I sanded quite a bit and it feels smooth to the touch and looks smooth but when I put water on it I can see small cloudy spots here and there. Do I need to sand more in those areas? I'd hate to clear it and have to sand it all back off again.
I know this is super old video but I have issues where believe my clear coat is peeling in sheets what grit sandpaper should I start at I tried 600 but it didn't seem to work
Thanks for the video! Any tips on getting rid of bubbles/bulges in the gel coat? I bought a hood that has a quarter sized bulge of epoxy in the middle of the hood
I recently bought a 1997 Honda prelude with a carbon fiber hood and there are white spots all over it , some are a bit faded but some are really white , water doesn’t do anything , what should I do
Not a bad video. Any time your doin' body work u should wear a respirator. It would be cool if u shown the finish product. I know someone that would buy that hood.
Great video, I've just picked up a second hand carbon bonnet with very slight clouding. Im going to use my da with a 5 inch foam backing pad and 600 or 800 grit sandpaper and then use a 2k clear coat or take it to get clear coated professionally. Thanks for the video.
Its more of a judgement call, but you will know if you do this alot. Just take you time and keep spraying it with water to check out how it will look. If you reach carbon you will see the cloth not resin
I would also love to know how to fix those! I have those small hairline cracks in a hood that I have for an 05 Impreza sti I wanna make it look sexy again. Is that a process of slight U grooving out the cracks so resin can get in there or should you sand them down till the disappear and try not to get down to the fiber? Or would you just make it smooth again and re-skin over top of it?
I have a carbon fiber hood that someone badly spray painted. I've gotten a corner of the paint off just by wetsanding. Is there anything your would recommend to remove that paint that might work a bit better or quicker?
Wow very good. Im having trouble getting my carbon fiber hood right. My current video of how bad it is I posted on my channel, can you check it out and let me know what you think I should do step wise to get it right. I have these white lines... Thanks.
Do you have an email? I want to send you a vid of my Carbon fiber spoiler , if you see the damage you can maybe recommend how to fix it , thanks for sharing
Wear a respirator! So many videos of people not wearing protective gear taking years of their lives! Spend the money on a good respirator and appropriate filters and save your lungs!
B00stednation I work with this and paints almost daily, it’s nasty stuff! You should get some disposable coveralls or at least wash your clothes/shower after working with this stuff. Read the SDS’s they send with the resins/paints- prolonged exposure to this stuff is worse than smoking

No questions. Just a 👍for saying you will answer any questions and you did. Unlike many other's that say they will but never do.
Glad we could help
Thank you for every instruccion in the video!
Masterpiece 🎉🎉🎉 TYVM Boss 😮
What if it has a crack, do I need a resin and hardener to cure it again? Do you know whats the ration for those? Thanks. Good work btw
Correct, but resin is done by weight. The can will say, so you will need a scale.

clear wouldnt no, would have to resin it before the clear and sand it

you dont need to wet sand it with 3000. Sand it with 600 on a da and reclear it. No need to do anything else
if I go down to the carbon fiber will the clear coat hold well? or should I add a step?
Will need to add resin
@@BisforBoost thanks cuz as I was clearing the roof today I was starting to feel that way

Thanks for the vid.
just spray it with water to see how it will look

Yes would need to sand it more
Im gonna do my hood tomorrow by hand! So don’t wet sand it? Just keep the sand paper and hood dry?
I wouldnt do it by hand, its going to take forever to do it.
B is for Boost I don’t have a electric sander tho...
What setting did you use for the orbital sander ? Meny thanks for video
air doesnt have setting for sander.
Yh just re watched and noticed you have a air compressor 🤦♂️
If I was to use a orbital sander tho what setting would be best would you know ? Tia
I know this is super old video but I have issues where believe my clear coat is peeling in sheets what grit sandpaper should I start at I tried 600 but it didn't seem to work
Higher the grit the longer it would take follow the video it’s the same as your problem
Thanks for the video! Any tips on getting rid of bubbles/bulges in the gel coat? I bought a hood that has a quarter sized bulge of epoxy in the middle of the hood
Could you send me a picture?
B is for Boost yes! Actually better I uploaded a video:

Would you recommend doing this with regular sand paper by hand and if so would you have any tips
No it wont work
Any tips for a carbon hood that is yellowing really bad ?

I recently bought a 1997 Honda prelude with a carbon fiber hood and there are white spots all over it , some are a bit faded but some are really white , water doesn’t do anything , what should I do

I have the same cracks on my hood. How would you go on from fixing it?

Great video thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

Have fun!
how do you know when to stop sanding ? also how do you know if you have reached the carbon?
Its more of a judgement call, but you will know if you do this alot. Just take you time and keep spraying it with water to check out how it will look. If you reach carbon you will see the cloth not resin
Can you make a video on how to fix the cracks in a cf hood. Please, thank you. Very informative & good work
If I can find a hood with them issues. I will do a video for you.
Where are you located? @b00stednation
Nova Scotia Canada

400 on a da with a foam backing pad. Make sure you don't break throw tho.
What type of clear coat do you recommend?
All depends with what you like. Any automotive clear will work.
Great work, i just dont like the word 'i know what i'm doing'
LOL, learn as you go
Wait so you apply clear coat with a spray bottle?
not at all, it was water
@@BisforBoost Hahaha okok that's what I was wondering and wasn't sure. About to re-do my lip to but I need to redo the epoxy to.
Hi! So you just dry sanded it? Or do you need to wet sand?
I dont wet sand it at all in video
Can you make a video on how to fix a spray can clear cost. Do you just wet sand with high grit?
as in fix the orange peel or dry spots?
B00stednation fixing over spray, from clear coat

What would you recommend to remove water spots I have a carbon fiber hood

@@BisforBoost yes
@@BisforBoost i have the same issue
Is this a sticker type?
No it's real carbon fiber
A carbon hood for a 1997 sunfire? The hood is worth more than the car lol
It was a one owner car, It's all in what you like.
True
Hello, does anyone do this type of work in the NYC area?
Unsure, most body shops would.
thank you
Glad it helped

I slack when I should't. I have a couple good ones in my box.

I do know better, I have no excuse. I’m a red seal body man.
@@MrSmashSr shut up
Just what i want to watch. First thing he says is basically, im going to do a half ass job. No thanks
I dont know where you hear that.Can't help they didn't pay for me to fix all the cracks right!
I'd say you did a great job especially doing it for free
I got the same hood and I did not sand nothing just use LUKAT kit 59 bucks in your hood will completely restored itself you do not sand carbon Fiber
Look at my video I did no sanding just Used LUKAT fix it
I’m not sanding carbon fiber, I’m sanding the top coat of resin they used.
Make a video how to restore fingernails and fingers.
Ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaa! Seriously!
working with epoxy without any mask and gloves.. you don't know what you are doing ;)
Really, unsure where I worked with epoxy. I sanded the clear off a hood and recleared it.
