Has anyone ever painted their cf hood.

just like regular fiberglass repair, its just carbon, and for painting regular paint prep. like 600 grit sand paper. primer, paint... that should stick to it...

Also, my hoods fram doesnt stick to the back of the hood. It is hard to expain but the edges of the frame are the only thing holding the carbon fiber hood together. It is also very limp and wobbly. Not stiff like my friends hood.

Then why would you even consider removing the hood pins?
