How To Fix Slightly Damaged Cf Bonnet?

[Spunky Munky]

Hi Fellas,

I have a CF bonnet that recently suffered a small stone chip to the front corner edges of it. I was wondering if there is any 'CF looking' patch up material that I can use to patch it up and then paint over it with some clear Resin or something? I am not after a 100% fix, but would like to patch it up a bit.

I heard there is something you can buy from Autobarn or Bunnings which can be easily applied on to fix. Please advise if this is possible?

Many thanks fellas...also, whilst I'm at it...anyone know where I can buy some non-rust bonnet pins? Whether they be flush or the classic-looking ones.

take some closer shots of it

but no, i dont think there arent any carbon fibre "patch" kits - but yes you could roughen the surface adn apply a new layer of the surfboard resin as per the carbon overlay thread in the fabrication section.

Hi mate, thanks for that... I was also thinking of sanding it down lightly and then touching it up with some grey touch-up paint and then apply a clear coat of Resin, what do you think?

Looks like you purchased it damaged? Fingers crossed that means you scored it for a lower price. Fixing it is probably gonna turn out worse then just leaving it.

Just enjoy the price you got it for, and its probably gonna end up getting cracked again at some stage anyway!

Hahaha...the picture is of the guy that was selling it...not on my car...not my GTR badge ... LOL

I got it at a very good price on ebay off this very nice guy... It was sold at a descent price, however, I still want it fixed... and will try to even if it cracks again...any one that has some knowledge of where to buy CF sheets, please do let me know....

Thanks mate..
