I have a carbon mast which needs a coat of paint, as it is starting to look tatty. What is the best paint to use, anyones experience would be welcomed.

Basically, anything 2 pack. Polyeurethane or acrylic is fine. If its a pre-preg mast colour won't matter.

Thanks Martin. Spooky they started the thread about same time as me! It seems that white is best as it does not absorb heat, white seems to make sense, and they suggest 2 pot. It that what anyone would recommend?

I have just painted my carbon boom with white 2 pack on the recommendation of a mate who is in the highvolume carbon manufacturing industry (matrix composites). Just rub it down well first.
