Scratched front CF lip :(! PAINT FADE JOB?
Yesterday i scratched the right side of my cf lip on a curb.
I was wondering if anyone knows a body shop who can paint the CF lip OEM black from the sides going toward the middle that way the sides of the lip are black and the middle of the lip remains CF. i have seen a couple of cars have this done before but that was a while back
If anyone knows good in the long island-nyc area please let me know

Why don't you just re-clear it? I had mine sanded down and cleared with 6600, it looks better than new now.

Yeah the CF actually is torn out thats why i figured the paint fade option right away i dont think the damage is repairable with a simple buff and clear coat job you know

Oh, it's a CLK... I thought it was a C coupe (as per your side sig) and you were asking because a lot of of have these lips 
Yeah, sounds like the fade option is where you need to be headed. I am interested to see how it looks, I'm sure it'll be fine.
Good luck.

I live in Dubai, prices here are not comparable to the US, I got everything from Kleemann global headquarters in Denmark, putting about 400 to the wheels, haven't dyno'd it lately.
