Questions regarding painting...

[NYC01]

I am interested in getting a hood.
Which material is easier/better to paint over:
carbon glass/gel-coat frp or real carbon fiber?

Thanks.

On the up-prepped surface, the paint sticks better on the FRP. However, if you take it to a reputable bodyshop and as long as they prep it properly, they should have no problem with either one.

Also, you may want to ask pbassjo (Joe). He is the best person to answer this.

Do I hear NSX-R hood

Thanks guys.


And TigerNSX, you are correct sir!
Already ordered, among other things! =)
The 4-6 week wait is going to kill me.

Man... your car is probably the closest thing to NSX-R in the U.S.!
