Painting carbon fiber stock

[Ronin75]

I tried spraying painting a carbon fiber rifle stock last year, the stock was primed before I applied the top coat. After a short period of time I notice that the high contact areas started to peel away. Any recommendations on the correct primer , paint or steps to prevent this from happening again.

let the paint chip away shoot the piss out of it, rinse and repeat. You could also just add some sponge paint/ texture to the high wear areas to prolong the wearing out.

I agree it’s not a beauty show.

I just scuff it up with some sand paper (maybe 200-400 grit). Wipe it down with paint thinner to clean. Then hit it with spray paint. I haven't ever used primmer.

It needs to be sanded thoroughly at 220 and wiped clean with acetone prior to paint
