Front splitter

[hoolio]

Need/want a new CF front splitter. K-Tec or Streamline or another. Anyone had any experience with the streamline, does the k-tec one still mist over and dull? Are there any effective ways to sort out that dull finish?

I bought a second hand one that was badly chipped and has some scuffs on it.

It was all rubbed down and then was given a good lacquer.

Looks a lot better than mine does at the moment. Rubbed down?

I scratched my brand new KTec matte carbon one at the weekend, how did you rub it down?? I tried 3000 grit wet and dry but didnt want to damage it by keep going at it!

Spoke to the guy that did mine, He is a painter and panel beater and has been for 35+ years and seen it all.

400 disc on the air sander and then a wet rub with 800 and a good coat of lacquer

Thanks. I was going to attack mine with fine wet and dry, polish with DA and then laquer.

Atl, no idea how to approach that one.

Think you will ruin it if you try this method on a matt finish, I would be calling K-Tec.

Don't streamline carbon offer a repair service for things like this?

Good spot, though I think once I get it there and back in one piece the costs would almost cover a new one.
