Default How would you reclear a carbon fiber vented hood?

Well im going to purchase a carbon fiber vented hood, but the only problem is that on some parts, the clear coat is gone. How woudl you clean up the clear coat and reclear it again? Whats an estimate of the price if I would have to pay to get it recleared at the paint shop?

yeah you could take it to a shop. and yes you can buy clear coat in a spray can, but just remember, you get what you pay for.
