That's looking nice. Got a link to the auction? I've been intrigued by some of the specials on eBay and AliExpress but I'm a bit hesitant to shell out that much for an unknown.

I always heard, you shouldn't paint carbon. Maybe that is a myth though. Either way, looks great!
Repetitive, yes. Clever, no. But very repetitive.

Carbon needs to be painted/coated to protect it from UV rays, which will break down the resins that hold it together.

I prefer my carbon bonded to iron then powder coated.
