    Default c/f Hood problem

    My hood is cracked and its slowly starting to expand due to the hot days and cold ass nights, i know i cant restore it to normal, but can using an apoxy keep it from cracking any further, as in filling in the crack, should i do that until i can clear it?

    Yea, its the clear coat thats cracking, but by doing so its pushing in on hte carbon which is making it even more visible than normal. Its a ViS racing hood, so im suprised its happening, Im trying as we speak a clear fiberglass apoxy on the crack, piling it on to fill the crack on, then ill wet sand it with 1500 grit paper to see what will happen, if anyone else has any suggestions please let me know

    sounds like it just needs to be sanded down and cleared again. If you want it cleared, pm me.
