    I have a carbon road bike frame which I bought from Ebay a while back. Its got a glossy 3k weave pattern finish on it which I can't stand. Does anyone know a shop in the uk or ireland that I could have the frame resprayed with a custom paint job?

    Thanks for your help.

    See here for somewhere in the UK. It's not cheap, £300!

    Not sure if they do Carbon fiber though. Is it any different to prime and spray?

    You can't use chemicals to get the old paint off, you have to sand it down by hand. That is what makes it expensive.
