E30 has returned to a red hood, gotta keep it classy. Some new wheels and a 97+ nose panel conversion for the m3 and I'm looking to sell or trade the convertible. Would trade for a decent e36 preferably pre 1996 plus cash so I can start building a 24v turbo setup.
Thanks! I just finished watching that. Unfortunately, I have already tried cutting compound with my polisher and it does nothing at all to cure the blotchiness. Short of sanding off all the clearcoat and then re-spraying I think I'm stuck with painting it a solid color (not something I can do myself) or wrapping it with 3M 1080 vinyl (something I CAN do myself).
Well that kinda sucks buuuuuuut...they do make carbon fiber wrap so why not wrap carbon fiber in carbon fiber? :D
AMMO NYC has a video on YouTube that details cutting and buffing carbon fiber.

The clearcoat on my 5 year old VIS hood has started getting blotchy from UV damage. It looks like there are water spots everywhere, but even buffing has not been able to correct it. The clearcoat is "clearly" damaged. I'm probably going to vinyl wrap it. Easiest cheapest way to make it good again.
