Does anyone know if / who can repair damaged CF bonnets by way of large stone chips as opposed to cracks or fractures?

Set me back £180 but the spoiler was in a pretty sorry state to be honest. I will get some before and after pictures so you can see the work. I didn't ask to get it lacquered as he said any decent body shop would do a far better job than him (i assume his skills are in Carbon fibre repair) as well as I want to get a body shop to paint the end plates champ white.BenLAST said:How much did that cost out of interest Kyle, I damaged my Mugen wing and looking to get it repaired and re-lacquered.
If it's an OEM style Carbon spoiler, HC racing spoilers new are around £250 from BuddyClub UK (SPD)...BenLAST said:Woah that seems quite excessive for a bonnet? or am I wrong?
My spoiler was going to be sanded, polished and re-coated for between 60-100 by a local guy, but since dropping something on the spoiler in storage it needs a bit of repair now as well

I know I was charging around £250 to refurb Evo spoilers back to new, removing the yellowing/clouding etc then re coating in new epoxy resin and lacquering. Really only refurb stuff off Ferrari/Porsche etc as the cost of refurbing most stuff for evo/dc5 etc is nearly as much a new part when being refurbed properly that will last years instead of a few months.
If it's only a few stone chips and you want to do it yourself sand it right back, touch small drops of epoxy into the chips then sand flat and re lacquer. If you really want to sand to bare carbon again, re resin the full bonnet then re lacquer it. Do not use polyester resin it turns yellow very quickly and most Chinese stuff that's mass produced is made from that which is why you get stuff turning yellow/green.
