Removing paint from carbon...

[PaulM12]

Has anybody managed to remove paint from carbon with any success / lack of damage? More specifically, my rear wing has been painted satin black at some point, and whilst it looks okay, I would like to take it back to the original carbon finish and have it re-lacquered. I can see the weave through the paint, so it clearly isn't too thick.

On a side note, if anybody has any wing ends, I may be interested...

Here's a pic of my car Just fitted a BCS exhaust (Previously Urban Racing?) and Pro Alloy IC and a few other bits....


Thanks,


Paul

Hi Paul , I'm guessing the wing was painted for a reason !!! Generally the carbon wings where very poor !!!

Interesting front splitter ends !!!

Thanks Tux. I had read that the lacquer goes cloudy so hoped if I could rub it back or strip it, I could do the same with the lacquer and then re-coat it.

I have an unpainted original wing in very good condition if your wanting to replace.

Hi Paul, you brought that from Mark, down here in Devon I'm guessing, lovely car and yes the front splitter is unique. I've gone on a few drives with Mark, he did love that car. Good to hear your good experience with Dave @ BCS

Hi Paul, that's the one. I've had it about a year and a half now and still loving it. I was looking for a 3R but this was sucah a clean example it was difficult to say no. He really looked after the car. I love the front splitter, would prefer it in carbon, but that's for another day! Need to stop spending...!
