I have a friend selling a cf hood, and it has some fading/oxidation/fogging (whatever you wanna call it). He's selling it pretty cheap, but I want to have a shop fix the imperfections. Anyone know roughly how much this will cost?

I bought a CF hood of a guy about 3 months ago..it was faded and nasty looking...we colorsanded it and clear coated it...we ended up putting 3 coats of clear, then some pearl and then 3 more coats of clear...with it being so shiny u can see the imperfections in the hood as when it came from the factory but its sharp looking.
