Hi, Im doing a project where I have a carbon part that needs to be painted a solid colour on one side, carbon showing on the other. Its a decorative piece, so wont be in the sun. The carbon side will be in contact with sharp objects. I have peel plied the surface that needs painting thinking it should help. Reading online, I understand the way to go is to hit it with 2k high build epoxy primer, sand it down, then give it a coat of commercial polyurethane. Lastly, an all over coat of AC lacquer for toughness. Does anyone have any different thoughts?
Thanks
