Gonna be painting my CF hood, CF fenders, and CF trunk to black. Anyone recommend a spot? Still debating on if I should just repaint the whole car black since there are scratches and small dings and I'm practically painting 3/4ths of the car anyways. How much should I be expecting to pay? I was thinking of just going to a 1day paint place, since my friends have had good experiences, but would also like other people's opinions.

I got my stuff painted by Jon at OC Body Works. He does great work, especially with fenders. If you paint the whole car, he can work out a deal with you.

What would you guys recommend at this point? Painting it black, or wetsanding it and reclearing it myself? What would I have to sand it with?

wow that trunk and spoiler really took some damage, what happened? I'm not sure if you can revive that trunk, best to sell it or paint it black.

i bought it like that. i just attempted to wet sand it with 1500, and it looks better. going to wet sand the spoiler with 1000, then spray it with clear coat. if not, i'll probably end up painting it haha

pics of how the trunk came out after wet sanding with 1000 and again with 1500. recleared and used a polishing compound.

the hood was messed up a bit since i was too eager to see if it was dry and left a few fingerprints... so i'm fixing it tomorrow and will show pics if anyone's interested!
