carbon fiber hood tinted red?
How do they obtain this effect? The carbon looks red. Is this the clear coat tinted red. The black was sprayed and sanded thru for the shading.

Theirs no way that's red cf weave. It's gotta be lightly sprayed so u can see the cf. **** looks sick man. That's something to think about right there.

thats a ghost effect that most custom paint shops should be able to do. They spray a light coat of red to make it look red while letting the CF ghost through

That is one Mad Hott hood...

Also, even though I've always loved the Cleanliness of the side of the GCoupe
I do like those body colored molding strips added to this ride...

Definatly not a red weave, that looks very tacky.

Just a very light red coat so the cf can still be seen, then polished and cleared.

I forgot to mention Kidcane took this picture. Maybe he spoke to those guys about the details?

Thats Adrian's car. The hood is made by Seibon and I am pretty sure it is a red weave then just regular clear over it. Not black weave with red clear.

Here is a G35 guy who did a chameleon coat on the cf. He said it was 3 very light coats, clear, 1000 grit flat sand, clear, buff.

I am pretty sure it is a red ghost paint job.

1. I dont believe Seibon does red cf
2. Red cf gives alot more of a red look


Here is an example of red cf weave
