Just to clarify, and not to flame.....
There is no clear coat "sprayed" on a carbon hood that is made with a "pre-preg" carbon cloth with the resin injected into the carbon. This hood was made in an Autoclave and vacuum bagged under enormous pressure and heat to remove all excess air to compress the layers of carbon. If you wanted a "shiny/show" look, you could polish it slightly, but without adding a ton of resin and weight, you are not going to get the same look as the other hoods in the market place.
There are several semi-carbon hoods for sale for $500-$1000, but you can not compare the two products. You can stand on this hood without making a dent, it's amazing. For less than 10lbs. it is unbelievable.

In that case, i'm definitely going to consider this hood
