Painting carbon panels

[Grandpa Joe]

If I wanted to spray carbon panels to match the rest of the car would it be best to get them raw carbon or in 2k lacquer?

They’ll need prep either way mate, so if they’re already in 2k lacquer, in theory they should take less prep. Depends how pinholed the finish is to start with.

In fact @1985michael182 is a bodyshop pervert! He would be best placed to answer this.

Definitely get them in lacquer, will will be gel coat or lacquer. Raw carbon you might struggle with.

If painting yourself, use a lite scotbrite to key, nothing too heavy.
