Default Help!! How to take paint off a CF hood

I bought a CF hood for my 97 lude but it has blue sides. My car is red so im shure you can think how ugly it would be. Anyone have any ideas to get paint off the hood without messing the finish up. Or should i just paint the sides black?

Most likely you will have to strip the clear coat off the entire hood and reclear it if you want it to look back to normal.

Paint your car the same shade blue...
