Default Painting Carbon Fiber

If I were to get a carbon fiber hood, would I be able to paint it red so it matches the rest of the car? I don't think I am getting one, but I was kicking around the idea and I'm not a fan of a black hood on a red s2000, so I was just wondering if I could get it to match. Thanks

Yes, and if you need a recommendation on a local place let me know.

I personally like the black hood on red car. Heck, your seats are black why not your hood? Anyway, yes you can paint it, and it would make it a sleeper(as much a sleeper as an S2000 can be).

I usually like a black hood on a red car, but I have seen it on an s2000, and for some reason I don't like it that much.

If I were to paint the cf hood red, would the color be shiny like the stock hood, or would it be duller than the rest of the car?

As long as the use the correct paint code and do a quality job it should match, no difference then say if you were painting a bodykit to match.
