What would I have to do to restore a painted carbon fiber hood to being all carbon fiber? Is there a certain type of paint stripper I should use or certain grit of sand paper? I dont want to ruin the carbon fiber weaves if possible. It was primered, painted, and cleared over.

Use the stripper specified for the paint system which was used and hope it doesnt eat the epoxy in the carbon



or else sand carefully
