I sanded my carbon fiber lip down with some a 80 grit and I'm on my second coat of epoxy after applying it a to a previous tacky coat and I still see the scratches and the road "rash" mini chips.

Is it going to turn invisible and sit into it properly once it cures fully or did I F something up in the prep phase or it's just the carbon weave that is scratched? I'm about to do a third tacky coat now and let it cure and level it with some 180 grit then probably do 2 other coats.

If you sanded it enough it would, but you may not have removed enough material. How much did you sand it?

Hard to say how much. I went at it with some 80 for some time but I didn't really pay attention to those areas.

I got 2 options now, just keep going now since I'm already at 3 coats and just go back over those areas in the future or re-start all over now.
