Default Body Shop with Carbon Fiber Experience Seattle?

Looking for a shop or person who has some experience finishing fresh carbon fiber parts. The parts need basic sanding then clearing.

Well anyplace in Seattle really willing to drive a little bit for a good result. I would say anyone 25-35 miles from Seattle metro area.

Any body shop can handle that. I'm assuming you mean they are freshly out of the mold after being infused with resin? its as simple as sanding it with 600-800 grit paper and clearing on top of it.

if the fiber weave is damaged then yes it will need to be re-skinned. but if not you may not need to.
