How Do You Like Your Carbon?

if i had a matt wrap then matt
but my bikes dont so i would go gloss

 

Gloss, 100%.

Popped some mirror caps on my car earlier to go with the front and rear diffusers and spoilers, side skirts and vents, roof and all the other places I have dripping with it

 

Shiny…. And lots of it !

 

I like both , got both on my pani r.

 

I like both too. Huggers and sssa covers, chain guards etc, Matt. Bodywork, like tank etc, Gloss. But I prefer matt as I wouldnt have carbon b/w as it'd be painted.

 

Prefer matt. Gloss stuff looks cheap and too "tarts handbag" these days. Its from the anodised probolt
tat era and none of that has aged well.
Conversely, I'm not keen on matt paint, and it annoys me on the tank of my KTM SDR.

 

Depends if the bike is painted gloss or matt. My Aprilia is matt so all the cf is matt too. The Monster and 999 i had were gloss so the cf was gloss. Simples!

 

Shiny tart reporting for duty...

 

typically, i do prefer satin but gloss is second choice.

 

Functional, thats how I like it ... none of this carbon for carbons sake bollox .....

PS anyone selling a carbon fibre loo seat ?

 

is that lined on the inside?

 

yes, it’s a full carbon tank with a liner kit inside… well two, as the original on failed .

 

Gloss everytime -always looks new. Easy to clean. Sparkles in the sunlight.

Matt -looks old even in the store. Trickier to clean, Looks dull in all lighting.

 

I'm in both camps for carbon finishes, all depends on what the model and year is....originality wins the day for me.

 

Both.

 

if you like matt carbon but inherit some gloss on a bike, just leave the bike out in all elements for a couple of years, and particularly in the sun.

 

"How do you like your carbon?"

In the bin, works for me
