ok now, yes you can paint a cf hood but what would be the point of it? it doesnt make any sense to paint it. if u want a lightweight hood and want it painted just buy a fiberglass hood.

Yes CF can be painted
CF is lighter & stronger than fiberglass

ok now, yes you can paint a cf hood but what would be the point of it? it doesnt make any sense to paint it

To match the rest of the car. why dosent it make sense? not everyone wants a black CF hood like everyone else has.

3-4lbs dont sound like much but when you save 3-4lbs per part. That adds up & equals major diet.

to paint a cf hood, which is clear coated anyways would only add about 6 to 8 ounces of extra weight to the hood. go ahead and paint it. it wont hurt, just cause its a street car 8 ounces wont hurt your performance at all.
