I have made most of my body panels and would like to paint the carbon .

There is no gelcoat just infused resin finish

Is there a special way I have to prime this for painting ???

Any info would be good on painting these panels

Im using two pack paint,,

Thanks Daz.

As you would normal car

We hit with 800 an that's it

Cheers Rob ,

I thought I may need some special primer,,

I find that with any composite panel its best to use a plastic primer or adhesion promotor before using an opaque proper primer.  Its just a dust coat to help it stick.  If your panels are REALLY flexible then you can add a flex additive to two pack.  I used this for lacquering EF80 but you shouldn't need it for normal panels.

cheers

I have found that with an infused(no gel or surface coat) part even the slightest amount of sanding with 800 will start to expose fibres, .... doesn't this hurt the adhesion of the paint to the part?
