Just a small change. After checking out Ring Brother's Razor, I felt the exposed carbon fiber looks way better with a flat clear. It just looks more natural. So I had Kurt spray these parts with flat clear, and I think it turned out awesome... but it's really hard to get pictures that show how cool it looks.

yes, this is one of the changes I'm making now; flat clear over all my carbon fiber. I think it looks way better, and more real.

That looks fantastic Scott. :thumbsup: And kudos to Kurt, I'll probably be getting ahold of you for some more info on what you used, that's the look I want. We were thinking of like 80% flat, just a very low sheen.

It's PPG 2060 Flex'd n Flat. Kurt will have to fill in the details, he's the expert. :)

That looks ALOT better !!!! Please don't take that as in it looked bad before, because it looked good, it just makes it VERY good now !! Good decision.

Looks much better! :thumbsup:

Shiny clear over CF usually looks "dirty", especially in pictures.

Thanks guys. It's certainly a minor tweak, but I like it. Since the car is "done", I'm just tinkering on little things. I have a new gauge to add to the cluster, the flat clear, etc.

Agreed Scott the flat clear helps to set off the carbon fiber pieces, more of a contrast against the gloss of the paint. Looks great! :thumbsup:

Looks GREAT!! That's what Chad planned to do on the stripes on my car and the other cf pieces... I'm convinced!! Looks MUCH better!
