It's the age of the resin that is still imbed inside the weaving that will maintain that yellow hue. You can't sand further down because you will start cutting into the weaving. I actually don't mind the yellow tint.

I used the same method to remove the poorly sprayed paint, and had a shop go over it again and then re clear. Thank you for the useful info! Looking almost brand new again |

I just got done stripping my roof in preparation for clear coating it. I used acohol to clean off the residue that was left over after and then gave it a rinse with some water.
I now have this weird white stuff all on the roof, what it going on?! Will this be able to be removed before they clear it? I'm stressing out over this. |

you may have dissolved some of the leftover resin with the alcohol. I'd see if it dries out through the day.

I just ended up wrapping the roof myself, pretty proud of myself for my first attempt. The white spots I think were a reaction to water because it wipes off using rubbing alcohol. Anyways, I can't afford a clear coat right now, hence the wrap. Some pics:

Last week I began to attempt some repair here.
Previous owner had had some chip impact and that started all. I don't know if he really knew that or it was the first thing that came in his mind. After I was 1.5 year with the car, the damage grew up a little (could be worse if exposed to the sun, but the car was shelted 95% of the time). The first picture shows the damage and some square addhesive that seems to be a clear bra or something, previous owner put it. 2nd pic, I removed the addhesive. 3rd pic: with the help of a ruler to lift up the rubber, I began to wetsand with 320 grit. 4th e 5th pics: after wetsanded 320, 1200, 2000 and 2500 grit. 6 to 9th pics: gave her a good wash. 10th: epoxy-resin 11th to 13th pic: first layer of epoxy-resin 14th to 16th pic: second layer of epoxy-resin 17th: 320 grit wetsanding 18th and 19th: after 320, 600, 1200, and 2000 grit wetsanding. Now. I feel afraid as hell. I need to clear coat. |

if you aren't spraying it at a body shop. Needs to have good UV clear to match it.
