Default Can you....

I know you can paint carbon fiber but my biggest question is if you paint a carbon fiber bodykit will you be able to tell its carbonfiber?

I heard you could see the weave but will it through a cars color off? thanks

I think I know what you're trying to ask... But no, if you paint CF with anything other than a clear or opaque color, you cannot see the carbon weave. Some have purposely masked and painted around CF in order to show it off, but you cannot normally see through the colorcoat to the bodykit.

My spoiler is CF with the sides painted and the middle part left unpainted. After painting, you can NOT see any weaves or hint of CF.

A big sig is better than no sig at all.
