Something a little different, and I thought this group might have the most interesting insight. (Paint is paint, eh?)
I have a Carbon Fiber bicycle that is painted a matte black. I've never been the biggest fan of matte black, and when my wife got a new bike this year which happens to be a glossy black; I got a hankering to change mine.
Here's my question. Do any of you have experience with something like this? Do you think I'd get better results simply polishing the matte paint (Maybe a M105 to M205 process? I've got plenty of that lying around and a 3" pad adapter for my DA polisher), or perhaps scuffing it up with some sandpaper, and spraying it with a clearcoat first and then polishing?
Thanks!
