I've brought a lovely carbon Ducati Performance front mudguard from a member on here for my 97 M900 knowing in advance that it needs re-lacquering as it's got a few scratches and actually a thumb print in what looks like old lacquer right where it shows.
I must stress this is something I knew about before buying it so I'm not having a moan.
I know I'm going to have to rub it down really carefully with wet and dry so I don't rub through to the fibres, but can anyone recommend a lacquer I can spray at home in an unheated garage this time of year?
Or does anyone have any tips?
I usually use plain old Halfords clear lacquer in a can and have had some good results on repainted outboard engine covers, but I've never refinished Carbon before.
I know I should really wait until the weather warms up again next year, but the moment that day arrives I'll want to be out on the bike not working on it.
