I bought a carbon roof, overall condition is okay, just some minor set back that is not noticeable in a few feet. Up close you can see 1 large crack on the side, and small ones all the around the roof. My problem is the long crack, it seems like it has gone through all the way down to the carbon itself. Is there a way to fill the crack? Do you just sand it and hope the clear coat can get through or do I need resin? How do you spray the clear? Do you sand first, then buff, then respray the clear? Here are some pics
LONG CRACK
Here's a sample of the crack that goes around the roof. Seems like these are sandable then buffable
Here's a big crack but I believe weather trim will cover this part but might as well fix it.
