Excellent work Sam. Did you do the seat repairs yourself?

spoiler blistered, carbon wrap temp fix

Post by honda-hardy » Wed Apr 27, 2016 9:54 pm

After having the spoiler painted about two years ago, the fibreglass has popped. This has caused lots of blisters in the paint.

As you can see, it's nasty.

But until I can afford to get the boot, spoiler and front lip resprayed I have opted for the next best (cheap) option.

Carbon fibre wrap.

I masked the edges of the area I wanted to cover and the filled the Center with tape too. Then I covered the lot in duct tape. I then pealed the template off. I stuck this to the vinyl and cut around it.

I then sanded the bubbles of paint in the central area making sure not to touch the paint that will show.
I then used a small amount of washing up liquid in water and sprayed the spoiler so it's drenched. This allows for the wrap to slip into the desired position.
Yeah, it's not perfect and some blisters still show, but it cost less than a tenner.
