I sanded through most the layers, and in a couple places where it was really bad I got down to the actual carbon and those spots still looked great but the rest was not, I think the one i did was worse than that one so it might stick

What brand of paint did you use? That and the prep will have a lot to do with how well it holds up.

I saw this on ksl. It is the EJ257 though, not the EJ20.

Sanding all the way down to the bare carbon would have been best, you probably already realized that now though.
