I just bought my first sports car (Porsche Boxster) and I want to give it a touch of carbon fiber on the exterior. I am planning on buying two exposed carbon fiber mirrors. Would I be able to add two extra clear coats (one tinted) to give it a colored carbon look, or can I not paint carbon once it is fully finished? 
thanks

Candy paints are great over carbon pieces,  then clear coat them

I agree, I think it vastly improves the look of carbon fiber.

I would be interested to see what a part looks like with a tinted clear coat on top.

Ill post pictures when I finish 
But until then here are some Pagani's finished in purple blue and green carbon to give you an idea of tinted clear coats. These cars are actually my inspiration for putting some green carbon accents on my green boxster.
