Carbon window trims

[Onzlouk]

Are they easy to remove? Any locating parts etc or are they just bonded on? Im looking at removing and colour matching to the car as the carbon doesnt look very 'carbony' any more!

Fine wet and dry and lots of lacquerer will make them like new again. Just dont go to mad on the sanding as it will start removing the carbon. that or go to carbon mods web site and buy the laminating kit and use the two pack resin to build up the layer again.

Think they're riveted on.

[kirknisbet]

surely there just bonded on and yeah carbon mods is a good site with video too

[Onzlouk]

The rear is bonded on and the fronts are bonded/riveted.
Im just spraying the rear one now, have done it in situ though.
I want a new screen so ill wait till i get that and do the fronts while they're off the car.

if you mask around them properly and do it on a still day you should get a good result without removing them

Quite happy with the result, has taken some perseverance and a couple of retakes but 100% better than how the tatty carbon looked!





I used a U-pol paint kit which came with primer/colour and clearcoat as well as sandpaper and rubbing compound. All purchased from
here.

Actually quite enjoyed it, i have a big compressor in the garage which would easily run a spraykit.....

Nice Job - looks much better

Great job Loz. It was something we were about to do on ours - I was going to sand it back lightly and then re-laquer it properly (beyond the standard TVR stuff which IMHO wasn't up to the job) - that said, with a paint match like that, it does look very nice indeed.
