hey guys, in the middle of a resto, a chassis I have has a few scratches on the bottom, and its a bit...dull. any way I can gloss it up (with a hard-wear finish)
not sure if Tamiya clear gloss would do the trick...perhaps not strong enough?
Cheers

sand it with 1000 grit wet sand paper, then use a clear lacour
will be as good as new

To remove fine scratches from CF, I use brass polish, A lot of hard rubbing but it works fine, leaves a shiny surface, do this process in the end, use fine sand paper first to get rid of as much and as rapidly as you can but yeah brass polish works just fine

when I was restoring my graphite chassis. I used the clearcoat that dupont makes. available at autozone. I did use the whole can on the chassis but its effectively protected. I've raced it and normally just bash it and its held up for a year+ now.
I did prep with 3k and 5k albeit you cant really see the results from them.
