[QUOTE=Kimmo;16405808]Have you ever done anything destructive with carbon?

[QUOTE]
Well I have to sand down the carbon lugs on my bamboo bikes so you could say I have probably destroyed far more carbon than most.. I've also re-finished several where I had to remove clear coat on top of carbon.
I think you may find that most carbon frames are not actually coated in epoxy but rather just clear coat.
The carbon epoxy composite of a commercial frame is going to be as smooth as the inside of the mold it was formed in. The weave won't actually have texture.
However I don't think my experience is telling you what you want to hear so I'll step aside now and let the experts advise you.
