Default Can CF be repaired?

I recently picked up the Nismo kit in CF...it's used and so it has some damage on it. Can these be repaired at all? Or is painting over it the only option?



This is the one I'm most concerned with since they are actual holes

you should be able to sand down the coating and then reclearcoat it

for the hols im not sure

its a tough call

you should develope a cool paint scheme around the blemishes

if theose are side skirts get some vinyl lettering of what you have done to your car like a silver vinyl (small of course) like veilside or nismo what i saw a 350z at a show with the names on the side skirts and it looked pretty cool plus its cheap!

No, he didn't but I don't think he knew either. He bought it from another forum member just a few weeks earlier and then had to sell it...It was still wrapped up when I went to pick it up. I'm not mad about it though since I got a great deal...looks like I'll be painting the majority of the kit
