Default A way to take off scuffs off of CF hood?

I might get a GOOD deal for a Seibon MG style CF hood but as you may all know.. you get what you pay for.. so there are a few scuffs ( 3-5 scuffs ) on the hood is there a way to get it reclearcoated or something so the scuffs aren't visible or any way to getting it fixed? Thanks.

if really just scuffs, you should be able to polish them out-

got any pics of the scuffs?

It's not just scuffs but scrapes where the coating is actually off I have some pictures ..







Thanks for your help.
Do you think this hood is worth the buy I'm getting it for way under half price so tell me what you guys think.

I do' think I would buy it. You can get a new looking Seibon vented hood for $400. I know I was going to buy one from a guy one hear, but shipping cost an arm and a leg from NV to NC. Just be patient and buy one in good shape. That's what I am going to do.

I don't think there's any fixing that without repainting it. Rich is right. By the time you pay someone to make it look right again, you may as well just buy a new one.
