Thumbs up HOOD VENTING

My carbon hood has again and yes this is about the 3rd time that the clear/ smoked paint is peeling... The shop is gonna paint it over and over until it is right but I am just over the hassle. Does anyone know or can recommend me to someone who could vent my OEM hood like ASAP? Thanks guys.

sucks to hear man but I dont think that any automotive paint/clear is going to survive unless you completely sand, prime and cover with a color...it has to do with the makeup of the gel coat Vs. traditional FRP or metal parts...

I have heard of clear coats and partial paint coverings on CF surviving under well kept and garaged conditions but it is def. not perfect process.

RXDI would be my "go to guy" for this project. He is worth every penny he charges....very good hood venting person....
