Painting Carbon Frame

[Marva32]

I am looking to get a custom paint job for a carbon frame and fork. Just some highlights to keep the carbon weave showing. Can anyone recommend a good painter to do the job?

There is this guy in Mozambique, grinds his own pigments, real guru
Seriously,
Don't you think it would be kind of relevant if we knew where you are

Is it at all problematic painting a carbon frame and is the process any more involved than Steel/alloy/ti?

a few things about sending it to Joe Bell or Cycleart is that they see 1000's of bikes and can make your bike better than new, they can fix things you didn't know where wrong. Best in the biz
