So I'm wondering what is the best way to take care of carbon fiber body parts, I.e. fenders hood bumper so on and so on, It looks good at first on cars but it always seems to turn to crap and I want to prevent that if I decide to go a certain route....... So my question is what is the best way to take care of carbon fiber to prevent it from cracking or looking like crap?

welp, its going to happen no matter what. like it turning yellow, and foggy, all you will need for that is a nice wet sand past the first coats, never get to the weave! and then get clear resprayed, best to use a gun and compressor, cracks, im not sure how to fix that.

Just spray some extra clear and keep the panels waxed regularly.

Get some transparent black paint and mix lightly into your clear coat basicly tinting it. Then spray 2 coats of tue tinted clear folowing that up with a coat or two of non tinted clear... Itll look great and tye paint in the clear helps block tue damage the sun does to the resin used on carbon fiber parts...
