Default Scratch in my carbon fiber hood! HELP!

What's my best best? Wet/dry sandpaper and then have another clear coat added? Don't want to ruin the hood. I could always be ghetto and put a decal over it but I'd really rather not!

use really fine sandpaper to do it. if there's a paint supply store around, go to them and ask what they recommend. you have to be careful with a carbon fiber hood. the smallest streak or mark seems to stick out like a turd in a punchbowl. good luck and let us know how it turns out!

wet sand with 1500-2000 paper. spray a little clear over it, sand with 2000. then buff it with rubbing compound
