      ViS CF hood, clearcoated?

      The description for all the ViS CF Hoods I see for sale say they are UV coated. This is like a clearcoat or a gel coat? I'm thinking of getting one to replace a busted up stock hood with insurance money. If I buy it should I get the shop to spray clearcoat on it or it comes with it already on?

      Get the Mugen replica CF hood and get it painted. For great justice.

      its like a gel coat, and they oxidize, its hard to get them painted or cleared right.

      That observation is sure to be of service to the OP.
