I painted my carbon fiber hood on my civic. The shop I went to didn't take any special precautions. They just treated it like any other hood they would paint. sand, primer, paint, and wetsand. Till this day, the hood still looks great. No flakes or anything. I'll post some pics if I can find some. Or if you have Access magazine in your area, you can pick up the new issue for july and my civic is featured on there.
