Question carbon fiber hoods

I got a question that might come across as stupid, but i honestly have no clue. I wanna know why carbon fiber on cars is always the black color. If i put one on my car, id want it to match the paint color.

carbon fiber is not a color. carbon fiber is carbon fiber. i guess you can paint it, just spray away using spray paint or use some house paint or something but you really shouldn't due to too much fexability.

carbon fiber will bend too much and cause the paint to crack in multiple places. plus those who get carbon fiber get carbon fiber for the looks, otherwise get some crappy fiberglass, or that expensive polyurithaine stuff for your auto body parts. you can paint those.
