[sleeper]

[040501912]

Matt black with 1 layer of clear coat :p

[Jamezy]

IMO get a gloss black would go nice wif silver ..

[Muzz]

If your going to pay to get it painted black, it would probably only cost $100 or so more to get your bonnet layed with a single layer of CF.

Go to a place that works with composites and get a quote.
Or if your brave and can fiberglass well, have a go at laying CF yourself, you can buy the fabric at decent prices.

What do you mean a layer of CF?

[040501912]

just layer a carbon fibre mat on top of ur current bonnet and .. put resins on it so it will set to ur bonet :p

doesnt save the weight but its a bonnet that has been added with carbon fiber on the surface :)

[ucme]

just a single layer of carbon fibre layed on top of your original bonnet.

carbon on the outside- stock on the inside

[Muzz]

Yeah, as above.
Just your normal bonnet, but with a layer of CF on top instead of a layer of paint.
Would look nicer then black paint, or the CF vinal stickers.

[Dy_]

ooo nice idea. will speak to the guy about that tomorrow. thank you

[wasabi]

whats abt just getting a CF bonnet? or am i missing something

[Muzz]

Your missing the price massive price difference! Would be the nicest option though.

i see i see.. how much does it usually cost to spray the bonnet?

[Muzz]

No idea hey, id guess maby $150-$200 done professionally:thumbsup::thumbdwn::confused:

[Fo55il]

doing that cf overlay seems hard. eg gettin it smooth wid d fibreglass???

[Boban]

I paid 100 to have mine resprayed, but a cop did ask me it it was painted CF bonett as cf are defectable here in qld, not sure about other states.......so good luck trying to explain that the bonett isn't actually CF just looks like it, either way if you get it done put up some pix

[Fo55il]

lol - just open it n the cop will kno its metal ...
