[QUOTE="RGJZ06, post: 1521119, member: 54087"] I've never painted a carbon fiber stock but have painted several CF items over the years. If you want the CF to be part of the pattern I would coat the entire stock with a clear coat first then apply the pattern. If this is a hunting application, most likely you won't want a gloss finish. In that case use a flat clear coat as the base. The reason I suggested a clear coat is it would act as a sealer or base coat for the camo pattern to adhere to. In my mind, application of a camo pattern on raw CF might lead to an adhesion issue that could cause the camo coating to lift at the edges where it transitions from raw CF to paint. This would be a fun project that could come out very nice. [/QUOTE]
