Sytner (Sheffield) bodyshop did mine and although not damaged only stone chipped lacquer I gave them the instructions from link on here and they did a super job. Chartwells Derby are capable too as they have top carbon guy who rebuilds damaged front ends of Fezzas etc.. So it is possible.

I spoke to Simpsons today about this and as they now have a paint shop and spray booth plus a specialist painter who knows Carbon Fibre they say the can do these easy peasey and have done a few alread with no issues.

To be fair, its only wetsanding then lacquer. Any bodyshop should be able to accomodate.

Its not voodoo magic.

However, not over sanding is a skill (machine sanding can go straight thru the CF) and also applying the right lacquer isn't always done.


I should know!

Yeh, buts you be an amatuer.

Sticky Mickey the ducati race carbon King did mine.

Who in their right mind, would machine sand a small trim like that

Will had a mate of ours do his full ralliart carbon front splitter on his Evo, it looked better than it was when new

I can confirm they do a great job too. They repaired a couple of stone chips on my roof as well as making a set of splitters look like new again whilst repairing a completely fooked set to be a spare track day set.

Highly recommended
