Default do they make non carbon bys eg lip?

I want to get one to paint with my hatch but are people just painting over carbon?
I have seen a few painted ones and I was wondering if that's what they did.

it only costs maybe $15 more in materials to make a carbon lip versus a fiberglass one since the carbon lip essentially is a fiberglass lip with one layer of carbon over the top. Most carbon lips are also heavier then fiberglass lips. They just take a fiberglass lip and overlay it adding more weight. So I assume they will be simular in price
