painting carbon fiber n fiber glass

This comes to mind, is it alright to paint carbon fiber and fiber glass.. Well which would standout more and not have flakes on them after the paint job; the carbon fiber or the fiber glass?

if painted correctly, both fg and cf will not flake. Most cf hoods are made of the same resin that are in body kits. The only extra layer the body kits have are gel coats, and primer. All you have to do to cf is prep it right and it will turn out the same as fg.
