Clear Coat on Carbon Fiber Failed-Repairable ?

Hello All,
The glossy clear coat on my M7 carbon fiber hood scoop has failed, leaving it hazy looking. I was thinking about sanding it down with 400 then shooting it with Krylon clear gloss. Think it'll work?

Thanks!

Jim

I'd first start sanding with a wetsandh a 1500 then try buffing it out... just be carefull that you dont sand the carbon fiber...

CF is really dangerous to work with. Toxic to your lungs.
