Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts

I asked him for more information about what standard matte is. I'm hoping that someone here might be able to shine more light on this too. My friend meanwhile said that standard matte should work since he will have to do sanding prep-work regardless.


I painted a Carbonda frame that had the standard matte finish. I sanded it down a bit first (not all the way to the carbon) before spraying with a 2k primer. The primer has held without any issues. All of my paint chips have only taken the color layer off and left the primer, so I think it's fine to paint over their matte finish.


I wrote up my experience on another thread:

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts This is clear glossy/matte over raw carbon. That's what I've ordered for my 909 (glossy), but I don't have photos yet. However, before I ordered, Adam sent me video of what it looks like: it's something like Orbea raw carbon with visible UD structure. IMO it looks better than standard matte black primer finish, as I can use glossy transparent stickers over it. I'm not sure if they remove black primer or get "bare" frames from factory.
For $35 extra you can order glossy/matte gradient.
