I don't know why anybody would want to paint carbon. Just doesn't make sense to me

You can, shouldn't be a problem for a competent shop. You run the risk of the hood having yellowed though

Carbon is get coated. That gel coating turns shitty and yellow after a few years. Them most decide to paint it.

So, you might pay $400-600 to sand the damn thing just to see that the carbon is yellow
