Has anyone here tried this? I would like to paint my Trek 5200 this winter and would like to find some reading material on the do's and don'ts. I've tried a couple of searches, but to no prevail. I've done some painting on cars and such.
Thanks!

Thanks!I'm fairly certain that Trek repaints carbon frames. Why not give them a call and see if they will share the specifics with you?

painting carbon is just like painting plastic, just FYI. I cringe when i say it, but you gotta sand it, prime it, and paint it...you just want to scuff it up a bit, don't go to town...i'd hate for that beautiful carbon to get damaged :eek:
