Sand it with wet and dry sand paper but keep the sand paper wet, along with the bonnet, do this till you get the clear gloss coat off, get an even finish across the whole bonnet then dry it and use that grease and grime remover stuff to clean it of all dust and finger oils etc. The primer should come next apply 2 coats of it sanding lightly till even after each coat. Once your primer is dried and smooth you should use the grease and grime remover again so the surface is clean to be painted on. You can now paint your bonnet with the black, do atleast 3 coats dont be cheap about it or all the preparation will be a waste, once everything has dried you should put your clear coat on and sand it with the finest paper you can find. Then comes the cut and polish and your done.

Just a note: Using a spray can will waste alot of paint in the process, If you could I would suggest renting an air compressor from somewhere like bunnings, the air gun will give you a really fine and precise finish and practice it first on a piece of metal you might have lying around or something flat like that.

Good luck with the colour change buddy :) I had to respray one of my old cars and I wish I went through that top post before I even attempted it

Im going for the panda look also - i would get CF but all the ones i've seen are crazy pricing and have dodgy vents etc...

if im a ricer - so be it

but at the end of the day WE ALL DRIVE HONDAS to we are already considered ricers from the get go :P

i dont mind the panda look ... pure black and white civic hatch - u gota do the doorhandles as well tho

u will have to sand it back ... because of the clear coat etc and u want there to be a key for the paint to stick to

if i got a CF bonnet i would color match it to my car so u couldnt tell lol

im a big fan of perspex bonnets ... see thru ftw =)

kung fu panda y0!
