Many wont touch it because it's carbon as opposed to a regular panel.
BMW Bodyshop in Bundoora said they'd most likely replace the whole roof

Just use a air compressor with a blower attachment to remove the gel coat or use a pressure washer. Wash the carbon fiber and take it to a body shop of your choice. Mine was 450ish with 4 coats of clear.

I had some quotes similar to sct911 above, and even had recommendation to replace to whole roof at $30k. I didn't really trust any of the options I got, and didnt really get any recommendations from anyone, and seeing it was going to be an Insurance job out of my pocket I didnt go through with it. In the end I got a $15 resin repair kit and touched it up. Happy how it turned out for now. Im sure other areas will pop up in the future, so if/when it happens again I'll address the issue then.
