To paint carbon fiber get some foam drawer liner. Can be foam or rubber. Cut a piece to the size you need. Lay it on the part of the body you want to paint. You can use different colors but i like a charcoal and silver. Spray a lite coat of charcoal over the liner, make sure to spary as straihgt on as you can and not angle the airbrush. Let it dry and then spray the silver. It take some practice, just take your time. If the body is curved it is harder to do. Hope this helps.
Here are some pics of my first marble paint job

Ah why not, go on, I'll post one...this is my XB8, the paint job was my first with more than one colour. It's all cold cans and masking tape. It's no masterpiece, but on the track it looks great, as long as you don't get too close. Used cheap tape and it has a few bleeds. My next body will probably be a proline touring body (for the NT1 I'm waiting for) of some kind (either Stratus or Mazda 6)and I will try really hard to do a very special job, I have already sketched some killer designs (I'm not a bad little artist, it runs in my family), the problem will come in trying to transfer them to the body using the medium of paint and mask! Wish me luck...anyway, here's the XB8...
