wingbeat

I have a beautiful composite sailplane that I bought used. (Wizard Compact)
It has a large scrape on the bottom of one wing. The wings are clear coat over carbon. I could mask the area, sand, fill with bondo, and add some stripes to hide the scrape, but I really love the all carbon look.
Can anyone suggest a filler that I could sand and polish down to smooth out the scrape and still retain the clear finish over carbon? Perhaps just an epoxy that is particularly clear, not yellow? Often the hardener or resin is tinted.
Any suggestions?
thanks
