Re: Why doesn't anyone paint carbon fiber?
To answer your question. Yes it can be done you just have to find a shop that will do it. My brother had it done on his hood. I wouldnt paint the whole hood kinda a waste of money to pay for the carbon fiber and paint it. Most people do the v shape or go with the body lines on the hood to paint sections of it .

Hi:
Good question. I guess that Carbon Fiber is paintable because many of the formula race cars use it and they are painted. It might take special preparation. It might need some kind of flex coat to avoid stress cracks.
Some people want to show off the Carbon Fiber look, so that seems to be why many do not paint it.
