you can still get the carbon back....just act like the black paint is the old clear.... it all has to come off either way

After changing the color of my calipers I would not be afraid to take this on. Nice work.

How painstaking was that?

The longest time was taping down the wheel well/rotors, non-caliper related items....and the sanding.

The paint itself and decals and clear was simple.
