Default Can you repair Carbon Fiber?

My hood has cracked and i was wondering if i could fix it. The carbon fiber weave is 100% okay. The resin on the outside has some line fractures from stress in her. Anyway to reseal it and make it look close to as new as possible?

Yes it can be fixed. The clear coat and gel coat will need to be sanded off and redone. As long as the fiber it self is still intact.

is it a gelcoat or a clear coat? Anyways, either one can be repaired, they just need to get rid of what's worn down and just redo it. Not a big problem.
