How would I go about making a colored (white) outer skin with a prepreg carbon fiber base.

I need the colored (white) outer skin because the black carbon fiber will absorb too much heat when traveling at MACH 1-2

The parts (nosecone and perhaps fins) will be used on a 5 meter long liquid fueled bi-propellant (ethanol and liquid oxygen) amateur rocket.

Nah, I was not thinking a solid foam core, just a foam core layer between an outer and inner "skin" of CF... 

Good luck on the Engine testings.
