Right , ive been painting CF for years on Bikes and yes it can be painted BUT IMO the majority of CF and i include some very expensive stuff for Ducatis suffers from a massive pinholing problem (most of the stuff ive painted has been wet lay up not pre preg) the real proble lies in the fact that the pinholes are full of release agent (wax) the only way to cure this is to use stopper then prime then stopper again until they are all goneQUOTE]

 

 

We just smear body filler over the panels, rub it right back and then just paint it like normal. If you spray the panel with de-greaser or acetone that should get rid of any release wax. If you want a real gloss finish you can use molycoat, but be careful that stuff is feckin evil.
