I took the hood to this place called MotoSkin in milpitas. They did all the work.

your gonna want to sand the clearcoat like you would to blend panels after a crash. 600 grit wet or dry paper should do the trick, but be careful you cut through to the weave your screwed. then just clear it, wet sand and buff and your done
