Thats about your only choice for that hood. The clear looks so bad you are forced to do something.

I don't think too highly of the carbon fibre look.

If the oxidation isn't on the vents, I say leave the vent CF exposed and paint the rest.

I'm on the same page as Kenta. If you can save the vents, leave em, otherwise paint 100%.
