Many friends have replaced carbon fiber parts for their motorcycles, but motorcycles are bound to be bumped and banged, which can cause scratches on the surface of carbon fiber parts. So, can we repair it ourselves?
I say YES!
Repair steps
1.36 grit sandpaper will quickly remove old resin, and you can also sand the surrounding area about one to two inches from the target area, which will help the resin adhere properly
2. Use some rubbing alcohol or acetone to clean the parts
3. Next we will tape the area off so the resin doesn't spill onto the diffuser parts.
4. The resin is then mixed with the hardener. The resin we use has a ratio of 100% resin to 29% hardener. Mixing ratios may vary between brands. Follow the product manufacturer's guidelines.

6.wait for it to dry
7.Remove the sticker after it dries.
8. We will start with 36 grit sandpaper and then move from the coarse grit to the finer 1500 grit wet sandpaper.
9. move on to the 150 grit sandpaper
10. Finally, we will perform a 1500 grit wet sanding to refine the surface before polishing
11.You can use any general purpose polish to restore the shiny glossy surface
Note:
1. If the scratch is deep or severe, it is recommended to seek help from professional repair personnel to ensure the repair effect and safety.
2. Before any repair operation, make sure the carbon fiber surface is clean and dry to avoid affecting the repair effect.
3. Please don't sand too hard, otherwise the carbon fiber will be sand through or sand out.
