Possible to spray over CF?

[Rico]

Wasnt sure where to post this but is it possible to spray over Carbon Fibre? Just wondering cause theres a specific grill for my car which is made of carbon fibre but i want it sprayed white as I dont want the CF look (and all the other grills which are unpainted are like 200 dollars more... youd think it would be the other way round but nup) :)

you can paint it but you mite want to watch out how you paint it.
probably put a primer on first incase it wont stick on?
few coats of desired colour
clear coat to keep the paint on for longer? unless you want matt finish.
its the grill so it mite be exposed to engine heat so yea clear coat mite not be bad. or you could use high temp paint but i doubt it gets anywhere that hot.

treat carbon exactly like you would a fiberglass part when it comes to painting it.
