Can I paint a Carbon Fiber Seat Cowl?

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

Don't need to strip it, just sand the finish down some.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

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.
