The attached pic is my CFS which I bought and fitted 2 years back. Whilst I would be happy to pay to replace this with a ‘good’ one I can’t see that I have anything to lose by having a go at fixing this (a short term remedy but easier).
I found this (vey helpful) post on the Tesla forum
Anyone repair/repaint faded clearcoat on the carbon fiber rear spoiler?.
In that post they say:
1. Apply a high-quality automotive primer
2. Select a clearcoat paint specifically designed for automotive applications. Look for a clearcoat that is UV-resistant
Can you name for those products (a name I can search for any buy)?
Has anyone her (UK) had any (repair / replace) experiences they can share that I can learn from ?
(Before you ask . . . . the answer is NO this is not an OEM product. I bought in on Aliexpress (£100) and at the time argued with myself that all these things (including the car) are made in China so cut out the middle-man. And I have read numerous stories of OEM CFS’s going the same way i.e. I could shell out beacoup bucks for a new replacement OEM spoiler and see the same thing 2 year from now) (Please don’t de-rail this post with self righteous ‘should have known better and paid Tesla to do it’ posts)
