anyone know what resin is used for a VIS carbon hood? Im looking to polish mine since it has sun damage and faded bad.
 
Wetsand it with 1500-2000 grit sandpaper, then polish with a foam pad and Meguiar's Ultimate compound for a temporary fix

Sand the clearcoat down and re-clear it for a more permanent fix. I had issues with terrible clearcoat quality with my VIS hood as well
 
Did you re clear coat ur vis hood? And what clear coat did you use? I just talked to a body guy he said 400$ to re clearcoat it
 
i had all of my CF wetsanded and recleared with ppg 2021 and had them spray a few coats. CF resin and gel coats fade too easily for me to take the chance of having to repolish the parts instead of enjoying them.
 
any good clear coat would be a good replacement and yes anywhere that you can buy commercial clear to spray out of a gun.
