Anyone here know how to clear coat?
So as the title states, I need someone who knows how to paint basically. (I would pay obviously)
I have a carbon fiber trunk that has no clear coat on it now. I tried to spray some on there with the help of a friend, but that didn't work out too well, so I'll be stripping that off.
If you guys know how to do this well or know a good shop in the north bay that can do this for cheap, that would be wonderful, I need to get it done asap.
Thanks in advance

carbon fiber is tricky
You need to know what resins were used, and find a compatible finish system,
"clear coat" is a very generic term, different formulations will behave differently on different resins.
Good luck with that...

I don't know, but if I was in your situation I'd try to find a "professional" to consult with, depending on what you have- it may or may not be suitable for "do it yourself" refinishing, from the sounds of things you already kind of messed it up once.
Hopefully someone who knows their sh** can get you on the right track, but I wouldn't hold my breath expecting anyone here to come up with a magical one-step shade-tree fix.
