Painting clear on carbon fiber? You scared... I'm not..

Not too long ago I bought an aerojacket type m spoiler (mines rep) from another member here. I got it for cheap! The reason for being cheap was the clear coat on the carbon fiber was not the best quality. Lot of speckled over spray and not shinny. Knowing this decided to take on this project.

Total cost for fixing the clear was total of 25bucks, better than spending 200 at a body shop. In a week or so. I'm gonna go at it with a 2000grit wet sand and buff with my DA porter cable, just clear minor areas of orange peel. But it was not as hard as I thought. Took me about an hour of prep and sanding another hour of waiting between coats and that's it! Hope this inspires some folks to take on more projects like this!
