Carbon Splitters Refurb

[karbonkid]

May be useful for some as an option to consider when the time comes (if you have the patients). Save those pennies! 22,000 each to be exact!
Thought it was time to give the front end a make over as I had a few hours to spare. Giving the front bumper a paint correction inc touch up & lacquer to stone s/chips. The CF splitters were deeply scared and needed some TLC without buying new ones at stealers prices.
I prepped them before epoxy top coating. Sanded using 120 grit down to the 1200, then wet sanding in the same way using all sand grades.

Few pics showing the way...

Before:






Using 120 dry/wet grade, rubbing down the OEM top coats down to the CF weave






using 240/400/800 & finally 1200 grades


Both sanded & prepped. Top one wiped with acetone to get rid of contamination


First top coat applied waiting to cure then ready to wet sand & apply more layers
