removal of paint from carbom fibre

[jim.2007]

Looked at a recent magazine and saw at350t with carbon pods and it looked very nice!
Searched on engine on here but nothing came up..searched google and if its a composite carbon fibre??-you can remove paint with thinners, if not. they say to do a 400,800,1200 grit wet sand advised, any one done this? would a steam jet wash be a more safer option?, any info thanks, bye the way I can see the square's through the paint, so must be a light spray

I had thought of doing this myself but after the advice of a couple of specialist paint guys decided against it as both were unsure how the pods might have been finished prior to painting and in fact might then have to be re-sprayed I went down the route of carbon wrap which was a about £120 but have now reverted back to the painted finish not quite the effect I wanted and quite prone to scratching.

Talk with S&D and see if they are happy to make you CF versions of the pods.

If not, I can put you in touch with someone who can and has the TVR experience, but you might be up for a long wait
as he is busy with projects on a couple of Sag atm and not taking on new work for a few months.

Not sure about these. It's a tricky call. Trevor Jones bright yellow T350 looks great with them on. I think I prefer mine painted but it's all in the eye of the beholder
