[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 16210791, member: 21786"] Good carbon fiber seems to look the cleanest after paint with little to no unevenness in the surface, but the difficulty with painting CF sometimes is that it can soak up the paint and clear and so you have to put many more layers down than you normally would and then you will still likely be left with little imperfections that will have to be cut and buffed out. But in the end it usually looks great. Fiberglass will usually require lots of work prior to paint in order to get a nice clean and even surface so it doesn't actually look like cheap fiberglass underneath. You will have to put a lot of bodywork into it, but in the end you can get a good looking result out of it. [/QUOTE]
