1 coat makes it shinnier but no smooth at all here this was in another post....
Not on my car. I not into the CF addiction yet. I was just subbin in and I had the reasources to experiment and see the out come of the probuct. To preserve it you would almost need 4 coats to make a difference.

Hit me up if you go to clear it. I got the do-s and don'ts figured out. I still have the sample piece too...
I highly doubt it will match a real CF weave... That's why I just got a sheet of Satin Black vinyl to do my roof...

Just get some to cover the hood,roof, and trunk. That way its protected, matches, still has the look and still gets the performance from the weight savings.

To protect it? Its eventually gonna chip, wear, yellow. Especially being in the SW.

Many people go for CF for look in addition to weight savings, If I paied that much for a real CF piece I would show it off not cover it up

I could go back to the fact they would all match, the trunk, roof and hood that is. And you could sell the idea to the wifey that its there to protect for longevity so you don't have to spend the money down the road.

Might as well just go with the clear protective vinyl. Wrap the pieces up, its protected, and you can still see the CF
