I'd agree with Brian and Nick, I'd paint it. Brightsides or Pettit's Easy-poxy work great and are fairly easy to apply. Once the clear is gone on carbon fiber it's not real pretty anymore if left in the sun anyway and paint in much better protection. You can roll and tip these paints, they flow out nicely and give a nice smooth finish without having to spray them.
