when a carbon fibre hood starts to "delaminate" is there a way to bring it back to its full lustur via a clear coat or something? otr is it pretty much a throw away?
example included.

cheers

that is a laquar or clear cote over that,its not the clear gelcoat,obviously that bonnet was 1 of the shipments that entered nz with the **** clear gelcoatthat faded green in the sun and thus they snaded the top surface and then cleared it hoping to bring it back up ,but the black has shown dominance in the heat and sun and blistered the clearcoat,tat bonnets only ever going to be good for recolouring to the car its going on or in a CF matte finish
