Evo carbon fiber help

Just leave it painted, you'll only do more harm than good. Besides, do you really think you would be able to sand it down to the CF and then make it look right? I doubt it.

It is long and tedious work. Or just PM DRFTKNG(sp?), he will strip the entire spolier and make it all carbon if you would like. GL.

After already being painted over? Show me. I don't doubt it could be done, I just think that without professional help you would only do more damage.

+1 to that
the trick is you have to sand down the paint slowly and carefully so that just the paint is off. This will take alot of time and alot of patience...take lots of care doing it.
then you'll need to clear coat it to protect it

Like I said in my FIRST post, if you have never done work like this before, do not attempt to do it. Just PM Reuben(DRFTKINGG), or take it to a body shop.

And in case you wanna try it on your own.

i say try and sand it yourself, if it looks like crap then you can just buy a new center carbon pice. if you dont care about like $150ish just go ahead an buy the carbon center pice and get rid of the painted pos
