Title: Can I paint a Carbon Fiber Seat Cowl? Post by: The ModFather on April 30, 2012, 07:00:22 PM If its already got the glossy clear coat on it can it be easily stripped and painted. I want a Matte Black Seat cowl for my 2005 620 but all I keep seeing is CF. Whats involved in getting one painted to match the stock Ducati Matte Black?
Thanks Title: Re: Can I paint a Carbon Fiber Seat Cowl? Post by: ducatiz on April 30, 2012, 07:01:17 PM Don't need to strip it, just sand the finish down some.

Title: Re: Can I paint a Carbon Fiber Seat Cowl? Post by: ducpainter on May 01, 2012, 07:12:13 AM There's a DIY painting thread in tech where I cover painting c/f.
Keep in mind it covers it using professional materials and equipment. If you're going to use rattle cans there's a thread that covers that method in How to. Basically you never want to use chemical stripper on c/f. It will damage the resin. Sand and paint is the way to go. Title: Re: Can I paint a Carbon Fiber Seat Cowl?
