i think u can also use car paint and paint it with a thin coat so the CF shows thru.
when i got my CF hood the body guy asked if i wanted it painted to match but still have the CF show thru. -------------------- Jared Harwell

you can buy colored CF all over the internet... the cloth that you expoy yourself not the vynil crap
as for painting over CF it looks good if the shop does it right... otherwise it looks like crap --------------------  99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =) |

And for the painted type you'd use a transparent paint like the top pearl coat of a candy color.
