monty1991 Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 can you explain more about the bonnet being "reskinned"Did you remove the entire top cover or just put another layer of carbon onto it? I repaired the cracks an primed it. Then got a fella to apply carbon an 2 coats of clear resin. Now im sanding it for lacquer. The materials where expensive thats why I got another man to skin it.
