Matte Finished CF by CF Element...Dry Carbon Look
 
Finally had someone ask me to finish a couple pieces in matte clearcoat...window switch panels for a 350z. Looks kinda like dry carbon.

I like that even better... too bad you dont have extra window switches IN STOCK, haha... Id love to order , but I cant drive around without window switches or a radio trim for 2 weeks :(

Dry carbon is hot!!!

That is looking very good, if i had the money i'd send you mine to start like a core set. I don't get to drive mine very much, got her new in early '09 and i've yet to hit 6K miles.

It sure does look pretty sitting out there though.

i like it. looks really good.

I like it. My opinion is that it is much more tasteful. I am not a fan of glossy anything, especially when it comes to interiors.

How can I get this done to my Seibon hood?

Any decent body shop can do it....there is an additive u put in the clearcoat when u mix it....the clear lays down glossy but as it dries it turns matte. Its kind of a pain in the @ss to do sometimes tho, since u cannot wetsand and buff any imperfections like u could a glossy finish. Basically however it lays out thats it.

i am familiar with a matte clear, my 350z has a lot of it.

however i have had many people tell me that you cannot just clear coat over a typical aftermarket "CF" hood... something about how it doesnt adhere properly to a gel coat or something along those lines?

Methodical4u 07-18-2011 06:35 PM

definitely like the look!

Matte clearcoat is just like glossy clearcoat, all the same just an additive to make it dry dull....I've sprayed my hood, hatch, and every piece in my car with clear...along with a few hundred pieces we've wrapped for people in the past and still do. Just prep it the correct way and all good.

Red Kevlar in Matte Finish :)
