Carbon Fiber Prep All,
Do you prepare CF the same as fiberglass for painting? Assuming sanding, perhaps a skim coat and maybe some light weight filler for low spots?
Thanks

Yes, that's true. But, be careful because Bondo will not stick properly to some types of resins. I believe (don't quote me on this) that it will work on a polyester resin, but will not stick all that well on an epoxy resin. I'd have to dig and see if that's the right or if I have that backwards.
