I know this probably sounds like a stupid question, but i was wonder if it is possible to paint carbon fiber?

LS1Kid717

like paint over it, or paint something to look like iut, cause you can paint over it

You can paint over carbon fiber, definitely.

Brangeta

You can add dye to the clear that you spray over the carbon fiber like Callaway did on their C12 prototype.




"This car, called “Inky Blue”, isn’t really painted at all. The blue hue you see shining through is actually a dye added to the clear that was laid over the carbon-fiber weave. Each piece of the carbon cloth is cut and laid to match the specific pattern found the weave and then “cleared” beneath a tinted blue laminate for an effect extremely pleasing to the eye. No random pieces anywhere, this car would be very difficult to repair, should the unthinkable happen."

There are dash inserts i want but i'm not a big fan of carbon fiber. So i was wondering if i could paint them white? would you be able to tell it was carbon fiber?

Then why purchase carbon fiber dash pieces? If you allready have them, then I understand. Otherwise, just paint it.

When you purchase the carbon fiber dash pieces, you are paying more for the carbon fiber, if its real carbon fiber.

that callaway makes babies cry.

You either have no taste, or you're blind. The Callaway C12 is beautiful.

meissen

Agreed. The tinted carbon fiber is a winner there, that's definitely for sure!
