It will also extend the aesthetic life of your hood before you have to reclearcoat it. CF hoods do not come with any kind of UV resistance in their clear, and are prone to oxidization (yellowing). Having a body shop wetsand and clearcoat the hood with quality paint will make the hood look "wet" as you noted, will reduce how much light bends over imperfections, and will give you a nice thick layer of clearcoat to work with when buffing etc.
