Opinion please - should I or should I not paint my Carbon Fiber hood?

Since you asked for opinion. I'd just sell the hood and put the OEM hood back on. The OEM hood is pretty light as is. If you are going through the expense of painting the hood just put the OEM hood back on and make a few bucks selling that hood. End result is virtually the same.

I hope everyone here who is saying "paint it paint it" knows that a tri stage paint is a bitch to match.
Good luck trying to get a hood to match fender and bumpers without a blend on the fenders and repainting the bumper.
Take it from a guy who has IP; dont repaint just one panel of your car, its gonna stick out like a sore thumb (especially for a car thats 7 years old).
Like mustang suggested : replace the hood with your oem one and sell the CF hood.
In that case, you'll need to repaint fender and bumpers to match your hood.
Blend fenders in and repaint bumper with the hood so that it matches perfectly.
