I did something similar years ago where I got a cut out label taped down to polished stainless steel and lightly sand blasted it. It came out really nice. I am curious what it looks like on Carbon Fiber. Thanks Fred

It's the same method you'd use if you we're bonding two carbon parts together, basically you'd just be giving the surface a good key.
