Hi there.

I kindly ask you to take a look at this carbon fiber roof of my car, because I don't have enough knowledge about CF and need some advice to make a decision. The gelcoat is damaged, and now the CF is exposed.

I don't run this car too often, something like once a week. When I do, it is exposed to moisture of the day or night, sometimes the sun, sometimes water in a rain or a wash. When not, it is kept in the garage, without rain and sun, only moisture.

I was advised to peel off the gel coat and apply clear coat (with about 7 layers), but since that would a little expensive, I'd like to wait about 7 months to do that.

My question is: is there a hurry to do that, as the carbon fiber may get damaged by those agents (sun, water, moisture), which would make do it ASAP, or it is very resistant to them so that I can wait the 7 months?


Thanks!
