Hi guys,
I need a bit of advice on the tail section of my bike..
The tail section in the pics is carbon fibre, it was painted previously leaving a carbon fibre stripe exposed. I want to repaint in the same way. My bodyshop has sprayed it with a high build primer masking off the carbon stripe. Now I have high edges against the carbon stripe and some areas which were masked badly and vary the width of the stripe.
I have masked off the stipe again and sanded down using 320 then 800 paper which has reduced the edge but has dulled the carbon stripe down, which was laquered before.
What should I do now to make sure I get a good quality stripe when the top coat is painted. Is masking off the stripe with a very slightly narrower tape and then paint the colour coat a good idea, or maybe mask nearly up to the edge of the primer and sand down the edge more so that the original paint edge is exposed?
My paintshop doesnt really know what to do now!!!!
Any help would be appreciated
Andy
