Default Carbon Fiber Restore/Repair shop in SoCal 323 Area

Hey guys, i'm looking for a shop that can pretty much reclear my carbon fiber hood, and hatch i'm looking for a good price also, around Los Angeles area. I've tried doing it myself but it really came out crappy, or if someone can help me out i have a compressor and spray gun, what i dont have is a room to paint in, so it'll be out in the open which i know is not a good idea. but if u guys know about a shop . LET ME KNOW!!!..thanks!!

i'll check out auto explosion, ive took my car to DTM before for an insurance job, they do great work, but besides being out of insurance, they are a bit too pricey for me. I know quality costs money, but im really just looking for a re-clear.

its called a "cut n clear"
they wet sand w 1000-2000 grit and then respray and buff the clear, shouldnt cost you more than 2-250 for a hood to be done.
Id assume about the same for a hatch.

Im having afew of my hoods done too.

I'm in AZ of course, but still.. dont let anyone/shop tell you its more involved than that.
