im sure if you took some flat black spray paint and put about 5 coats on it would look fine but brush would scratch it all up.actually i have the carbon fiber one and i love it, it looks great. i would go with the carbon fiber.
I used the Durocoat bumper paint and prepped/primed it with the special primer that they sell that helps the paint adhere and it held up just fine. I painted the Octane 1 piece.
