Hello,
Sorry for my late reply but just recalled our sort of conversation about frp vs carbon. I got a message from my friend from paint shop.
So the problem is that the finerglass is a bit wet on one spot (in the center that will be black) and that causes the issue because of which it takes so long to paint. Water that is inside evaporates and makes bubbles on the paint.
Honestly, I wouldn't recomend it. If I could go back in time, I'd get the carbon one for sure and get painted that one (on sides).
I have carbon fiber exhaust tips so it wouldn't look good as it will look now but at least my friend wouldn't execrate me, haha.
See the pics bellow (also of the tips) :-)[IMG][/IMG]
