Anyone know a good shop/guy in the Seattle area that has experience painting Carbon Fiber. I am interested in possibly having some pieces Candy Coated (slight color under the clear) but I would want to make sure the guy knew what he was doing.

Example

 

judging by the pic above, that was not done very well.

 

^+1... OP i like the idea but that doesnt look too good...

 

Well there are plenty of examples on the net, and the pictures often dont translate well to how it would look in person. Regardless, if I can find a shop with some experience with this I will likely give it a shot.

 

all they have to do is shoot some clear which has a 1-5% pigment blended in. Shouldnt be hard at all.

what color do you want added? Gold would look fantastic on GG.

 

I was just thinking of keeping the pieces GG, but with the carbon weave slightly showing through up close. Ideally from a distance, it would look stock.

 

I think carbon's natural color looks better on GG than GG carbon would look on GG. It's a good contrast IMO.

 

man guys he is asking for a shop not if you like it or would use it one your car lol hey OP check around some custom shops in Tacoma guys out there do some amazing paint work and just ask them if they have a portfolio or any cars that they have that you can look it

 

real race cars just paint their carbon fiber :P

 

talk to TCC he is a vendor on here im sure he can do this job and well above your expectations.

 

Candy paints are used extensively in the lowrider world. Might want to look up some references in that community. They are different paints that are more transparent than normal paint. An option to this paint treatment is the actually colored carbon fiber products that are available now. You would have to ask a manufacturer to make whatever you wanted using that product though. Good luck and post pics when you are done.

 

Try bel-Kirk body shop in Kirkland, ask for Gary or Tyler, doesn't Hurt to ask of they can do something like this. 425-823-9303 tell em Elree sent ya.

 

I agree with getting the actual carbon fiber color, however, I don't think it would work for what he wants. We could get away with getting a silver one to achieve the look he wants, but for his want of not noticing cf til you get closer is probably just a paint thing. I thought the pics of the blue were actual blue cf instead of paint.
