Dumb carbon question

[Calebric85]

So this is probably a dumb question, since I haven’t seen anyone offering it. Is there a way to have a frame restored back to the oem carbon color like the x metal and plasma finish?

Yes.

I don't quite know if @zwc0442 used the same process as Oakley but, he's refinished a couple of X Metal frames for me that matched the carbon color of X Metals. Hope that helps.

If it can be done Zach is the guy to go after!

Sweet, thank y’all for the help!

I can't replicate oem carbon exactly. Closest I can do is black cerkote. Oem is pvd it seems and I don't have access to that sort of refinishing.

@SouLFuLFroG also does an incredible version of a Polished Carbon.

This is topical for a question I have, save me making a new thread.
If carbon is a coating, what’s the base, xmetal or plasma? I’m about to get my first pair of Carbon juliets and I’m curious what options I have if they need a refinish or if I should get them stripped to the base colourway. I may if it’s plasma but won’t if xmetal. Assuming the carbon is in bad shape. Preference would be to leave as is of course.

An hour with a Dremel fitted with a scotch pad and another hour with a felt wheel and Mothers Alu polish will give you this result....
