Default New clearcoat for Carbon Fiber Hood???

Well... My hood isn't looking so pretty these days, I've used all that 3M restoring **** and what not, but that's not good enough.

I'd like to have it re-sprayed w/ a new gel coat or whatever, not really sure what the resoring process involves.

Anyway, has anyone ever had their hood re-done? Price? Would any place that does paint be able to do Carbon Fiber?

So, what's the difference between a Gelcoat and a Clearcoat?
