Painting an MTI CF Lid???

I've decided to paint match my lid and FRCs, but I have an MTI lid that is "genuine faux" carbon fiber

I don't see why I couldn't just sand down the finish and repaint it, but has anyone done this? Any idea why it wouldn't work? I'd hate to ruin my fake CF

I'm drawing up some graphics for the lid and FRCs, but I'm also debating on making new a new battery cover and fuse panel covers that match the graphics. What do yous guys think, everything with matching graphics or leave the bird/pontiac sign? Maybe just the intake plaque with the matching graphics?

Engine pic is in the sig. As always, any help is greatly appreciated

If your going to sell the lid how much you want for it. I have a Direct Flo lid maybe we can work out a trade and you can paint the DF.

That might work, is the DF lid plain black? Any pics?

I was just about to ask if you wanted to trade plus some cash, I have a direct flow lid also, lol.

Well if that deal falls through I would love to trade with you.

Thanks
