I would like to freshen the look of my workstation by applying a carbon fibre skin to this desktop. This application means that the carbon fibre won't need to have any structural strength, merely cosmetic. I'd like to use a large-pattern cloth, like spread-tow 15mm 2/2 twill. You can see from the photos that the desk is a boomerang shape, with a number of different curves. The dimensions of the desk are [EDIT: Changed specs - it's larger, critically, in the max depth] 43 1/4" max depth, 88 5/8" width, and approximately 1" thick, with a few other contours shown (or, 1.1M x 2.25M x 25mm). I'd like it to have a high-gloss finish, or possibly, a nice, even matte finish with some texture. The substrate is some kind of fibre-reinforced resin. I'd like to wet lay the CF on the desktop, and wrap it around underneath just enough so it is cosmetically pleasing (though not cover the underside). 

That stuff is almost certainly the same as this:

Wessex resins tote this as a "coating resin" for table tops etc. but it is much more useful than just that ...

It is a very tough and very clear coating resin, that can be brushed on and will self-level out the brushmarks quite well.

It leaves almost no trapped bubbles, even without using a heat gun ..

BUT:  It will not properly wet out carbon fibres, and it will trap airbubbles inside fabrics... so in effect it is ONLY a top coat ..

Also it will flow off steep sides ... but still leave a nice thick coat.
