Stripping a carbon bonnet?

[NightSpirit]

Bloody bonnet...pain in the arse. Since it flipped up on me the other weekend (low speed so no worries) the top lacquer got cracked slightly and with the wet weather, water has got into the lacquer layer causing it to bubble.

I've started removing the lacquer (gives it the matt carbon race car look too, which is a bonus) but the areas that water didn't get into won't budge. Tried heatgun, adhesive remover...so I give up.

Does anyone know someone (maybe a bodyshop) in the Surrey area? or anywhere for that matter who will strip the lacquer from the bonnet for me as it's a right fecker of a job.

Ive gotta re laquer my bonnet too bud, its just gonna be a whole lot of sanding by hand.

If you use any type of paint remover, it will damage the carbon.So yeah, just keep at it sanding.

Can just sand down the rough areas smooth, then matt the whole bonnet then relaquer

Thanks for that,

My problem is that if I sand down the whole bonnet, using I presume very fine grade wet and dry? I don't want to scratch the bonnet at all as I'm not getting it re-lacquered, just going to leave it matt.

If I can't get it dipped in a tank of nasty stuff to remove the lacquer or do it another way I'm just going to paint the bonnet matt black.
