I was concerned about the final product. So i got some tips from a work friend that has a lot of experience painting cars motorcycles etc (hojalatero)
We went to a store and bought 600 and 1000 wet sanding paper. He pointed out that i didn't need to get completly under the finish unto the naked carbon, i just needed a smooth sanded surface since black satin finish would cover all.

I sanded but got weight weenie (pathetic) and descided to get the most finish off... When the part was wet i loved how the specialized naked carbon looked. But once dry it looked dull and ready for paint.


We bought R-M AM210 satin black spray can for $14.00 which is supposed to be a very durable paint. And since its satin black there's no need to clear over. I sort of wanted a matte carbon finish but read a lot about matte finish clear not being that durable. Converting glossy clear to matte being a bit more expensive, im thinking this satin black should rock!

Thoughts?
