Check for carbon/kevlar. I believe those come in different colors, but I could be wrong.

As said, you need a CF/Kevlar weave hood. They are not cheap and only a few companies make them (C-West, Monster Sport, Varis). Expect to be paying over a grand. And yes... they come in Red/Blue/Yellow. I am sure Z1, Bulletproof Automotive, Gruppe-S, VividRacing, or one of our other fine retailers can help you out.

Is there any company that is wise enough to invest in surf board resin to finish their carbon pieces?

Its just sad after spending quite a bit of loot for the piece to turn yellow...
