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.

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?
