Does anyone know of a place in Northern California who can fix Carbon

[Johnny-5]

I have door sills where the carbon fiber is in excellent condition but appears to be just the Clear / Resin coat that is cracking and lifting. If anyone has any experience with repairing these and or / is willing to help me out would be great. If not I dont mind paying you either as long as its reasonable in price. If not anyone know any shops / individuals in the Eastbay or Northern California? Would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Since they are laminated parts I don't think they can be fixed only replaced.

I've talked to people who work on carbon fiber bikes with a heavy clear coat on them. Pretty much if the clear coat is separating or the carbon fiber cracked, the only solution is to sand down to something you can adhere new mat to and then build up and re-spray. In the end, I think it would be cheaper to just replace the part.

Really I swore Ive seen a thread somewhere where they were able to fix it using a resin. Ill have to see if I can track down that thread. I just dont know if I really want to try it as Im afraid of ruining it.

If Im able to fix it that would be best as Im not sure if I want to put money towards another set. If the carbon fiber itself was damaged than it would probably cost more money to fix it but I believe just throwing on a clear resin shouldnt be that hard or expensive. I just figured I try to see if anyone on here dealt with something like this before hitting up a few body shops, etc.

I think the problem is taking off the clear without damaging the weave. Sounds impossible to me.

You may have a point! Maybe theres just a way of fixing the area thats cracked and leaving the rest of it alone??? Ill call locally and see if anyone is able to do it. Worst case scenario Ill just try to fix it myself and if I ruin it I ruin it. Thanks for the info!
