Are any of these hoods paintable?

why wouldn't they be? motoextreme did a partial paint of his, remember?

Guys, quick question

I'm interested in the seibon fenders and doors and was wondering if it is easy to paint these seibon carbon products. Carbon fiber has a weave and it seems difficult to paint it. I know it's not the best thing to do (painting carbon) cause carbon is mainly for showing off and painting will also add weight, but I want to know if it's as easy as painting steel. Confirmed experience in the reply will be greatly appreciated....

HIT! Seibon is pretty good on fitment, from my experience.

Painting them is not like steel.. neither is your stock bumper.

CF items have 2-3 coats of resin/clear coat on them. A LIGHT sanding with a high grit paper, proper primer and base coat/painting works great. I've done this myself on a few Seibon and ViS hoods... never had a problem.

As always, professional installation/painting is recommended. They know their ish ;)

Anyone needs pricing, please post up, PM/IM or call me :)

Thank you,

So AJ, you've never had a problem with say strength of the carbon fiber due to sanding it down....My main reason is for lightness and strength, so I'm just wondering if sanding will have any effect on strength. Thanks btw for the info, I'll definitely get in touch with some professionals to due it instead of me destroying a $700 product.....

Theoretically it may decrease the strength, but that is just clearcoat you're sanding.. if painting over it, you're adding another bond, paint. On top of that, you'll be applying more clearcoat (I hope) to protect the new finish.

In teh end, I still recommend a professional/shop to do all that work for you ;)
