Many people have painted carbon fiber. I saw one mazda6 at sevenstock8 that was red with a carbon fiber hood which was clear coated with a cherry red. OMG, it looked hot!

My friend has a CF hood on his car, its got a candy red, so you can still see its CF in the center and red paint on the sides to match the car...looks cool
I wanted to get a CF hood for the 8, and paint it body color (silver) so that it blended in like an OEM hood, but leave the center 'rotor shape' in carbon fiber....i think it would look great

I wanted to paint mine like that, with that "candy" kind ofpaint but somehow no paint shop knew was I was talking about so I ended up just painting it VRed, but I'm happy with the way it came out

I wanted to actualy paint all of the hood but the center 'rotor' shape, and have it made of regular carbon fiber, so that it looks like a totaly stock aluminium hood, but the center is CF.

I've never been a big CF fan but all the nice hoods are CF.
Just check out what Mikeb did with his Seibon hood:

I want to get a dry carbon hood, trunk, and fenders, paint them all body color (my 8 is black), take out the back seats, and add a turbo kit good for 300 whp. Instant SLEEPER.
Oh yeah ... you can paint carbon fiber no problem. Just look at the F1 and GT cars. Heck, the Z-Tuned R34 Skyline has painted carbon fiber body panels and hood. Thus spawn it's 10.09 sec 1/4s.
