Sanding CF

Can you sand a CF with a glossy finish and then respray it with a matte clear?

or can you just add a matte clear over a prepped (for paint) cf to give it a matte finish…

this is going to go on my road bike frame that im building… but i figured some of the car guys would know

you can lightly scuff the surface of the clear/gelcoat on CF with like 600 grit paper and then spray matte clear on it. AL-Wil (IeatPaint) sells matte clear

Who’s AL-WIL?

Zipp wheels?

THinking of HED 3 spokes… but this is going to be on a new TRI Frame i am building for next season

just wait till you get a crosswind… i used to ride spinergys, i’ve been blown into traffic and almost killed.

How well does this end up looking? I want a dry cf look

it looks decent… If you can find the thread from carlisle a few years ago with a flat blue STI…that was done with matte clear over the factory world rally blue.
