Hoods and more hoods

[eligst21]

It's a VIS Evo style hood.

Makes sense now, I guess I wasn't looking at it that well. I'll look into them, I like the way it looks though.

Is that a stainless coffee mug overflow?

yeah
I didnt wanna pay $75 for a aluminum overflow But still wanted something to match the rest of my metal work
.....so I went with the $10 Custom Stainless Overflow from Walmart

Not to threadjack, but it seems like we have some very talented paint guys here.
Anyone know if a carbon fiber hood could be shot with a pearl paint so it would match the car but the carbon would still be slightly visible?? Im not sure I like the look of a carbon hood, but if it could be painted to see a little fiber weave under the paint, it would look great IMO.

 

[dsmTripp]

Yes it can be done. There was a sick candy red eclipse that did it with his hood. I will have to see if I can fine the pictures.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

I gotta ask what the color code is for that green i love it, but i wouldnt add the metalic.. Kinda would want that color but with the stock style metallic Also what front 2gb bumper is that without the fog light holes?

Carbon hood looks great as is imo

He "shaved" the fog light holes. So it's a OEM bumper with the fog holes filled in.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Alright, damn, i was hoping the paint code answer would come first, kinda figured about the fog light holes.

I opted to bring a CF hood back from terribly clear coat failure while having my car painted. I opted for the translucent look that body matches the paint perfectly from a few feet away but still allows the carbon to show through. I wasn't the painter, but worked very closely in with him after restoring the hood in order to understand just how he did it.

I sanded and polished the dickins out of the hood. I had brought it back from complete rot to this:

I'd laid down some clear coat that didn't bond well with my painters clear. It fish eyed terribly. He sanded it out again, then with a ton of fish eye reducer, laid down about 2 coats of regular clear coat to seal the hood from attempting to drink the base coat. From there, he heavily reduced a batch of base coat and laid down the color/tint. Finally, he cleared the hell out of it a few more times.
