Carbon Fiber

Hello all,
I would like to change my front bumper and hood out. I have looked at many things and really like the carbon fiber hoods. My questions is does anyone know if you can paint carbon fiber? or Can you get carbon fiber hoods in other colors besides black?
>>>Please show pics if you got them. to get an idea of what it looks like>>
I have a laser red Coupe.
Thanks

carbon fiber is carbon fiber... it doesn't come in black, it comes in carbon fiber. the fiber is laced with black carbon weaving, therefore it is not a solid color.

Yes, quite a few members on here have gone with the carbon fiber hoods and painted them.

this is one example... wuchen1's hood...

you can paint carbonfiber hoods the same way you'd paint a bumper or fender.. how to get carbon to be colorized without COLOR Carbon is by using transparent paint.. or Candy Paint.

You can paint CF the same as you would with Fiberglass. As for colors, yes CF can come in a multitude of colors but I have never seen anyone make hoods, trunks, Etc in any of them but the standard.
