i just picked up a set of used carbon fiber frame covers. they are from trojan. one has a few dull spots on it like from chafing. can this be buffed out? also the other side was in a crash and has deep scratched in the resin. but not all the way threw the resin. can i fill in the voids with more resin and then sand everything smooth? then either use automotive clear coat to recover them and buff them? or could i buff the resin? ive never tryed to do such a repair but i got these for a deal. hopeing i could take the chance and make them look better. any advice or steer in the right direction would be great. remember the carbon is not cracked or broken, just deep scratches in the resin and some dull scuff marks. thanks | ||

You could fill the scratch with resin, and could also apply to the areas where the chafing has occurred (assuming that its not clear coated already. Then sand it smooth and spray the parts with a UV protective clear coat. | ||

This may sound a bit whacked but I talked to a guy with C/F frame covers that runs his bike at track days. He works at a H/D, Buell dealership so i figure he must know something. He told me he uses used engine oil to repair damage to Carbon Fiber. He says it has to be used because the oil has to be broken down to work. Supposedly it actually melts the fibers back together? I don't have any on my XB9S so I have not tried this out. For what it is worth there it is. | ||
