Hi there, I would like to know when you were applying the clear coat, did you do all 6th coat at one go or did you wait for it to dry then do each coat in different session? else great work..
@@ImJayLyons Thanks a lot for this and also may I know the brand or what type of clear coat did you use, and also what number grit did you use in that process. Thanks again.
Thanks for posting this! There's not much out there on how to restore these roofs. I've got a bunch of light scratches and a few deep scratches in mine that I'm making a plan of attack for, but your video helped me see what I could be dealing with if I sand below the clear coat. I'm hoping I can sand the deep scratches into narrow channels and fill with epoxy resin, then light sand and re-clear the whole roof without cutting through the clear layer.
I did mine 4 coats of clear but when it gets dry looks like the roof absorbs the clear coat.I tried to buff and polish it but I can not get the proper shine. Will it fix the problem if I re sand it and lay another clear coat? Did you use 8000 grit sand paper before clear coating?
Sand it with 800 grit, finish it wet with either a grey scuff pad and soapy water or some 1000 wet sanding paper. Put 2-4 more coats of clear and you should be happy with that outcome. Make sure you sand out as much of the texture as possible before you re-clear
people need to realise carbon roofs arent somthing that can be left in the sun all day everyday. these are designed and sold as enthusiast cars that you dont just leave un garaged all the time. people treat these cars with fancy parts like shit and when somthing fails they carry on like the cars poorly made
I believe it ended up being around $10,000. That includes a new front windshield all the moldings around the front and rear glass, a new cowl panel and a fairly intense detail after the job since it was so much messy work.
Top notch work!!! Need mines redone in the future for sure.
Hey thanks for the love! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thanks for watching. I did 3 coats, let it dry, sanded it and did another 3. If you do 6 straight you’ll have issues.

Awesome work
Thanks man! I appreciate you checking out our video!
After you sanded with 600, What did you clean the residue with? Ive sanded down with 600 but its still yellow in the gel coat in between the threads.

how much did you end up charging for this ?

@@ImJayLyons meant to ask just for the roof?
