djinuk 2 Posted December 26, 2007 you want a grade of wet and dry buddy, all your need to do is give the matt black somthing to key onto, maybe a scotch pad will do the job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paintguy 0 Posted December 26, 2007 As above. If you're having the bonnet painted matt black too, then you only need to key (roughen up) the existing lacquer to give the black something to adhere to. Either 800 grit wet & dry, or a grey Scotchbrite pad, would do the job nicely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hodgy 0 Posted December 30, 2007 bonnet is staying carbon lookjust its too shiny so needs to be dulled down to match the rest of the car and my carbon boot isnt laqured so it will all match Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
