wow, some anger in this thread haha. what FBinNY said is completely 100% accurate. they impregnate the carbon fiber sheets with resin, and in case you didnt pay attention in sex ed, impregnate means to puts your goo inside of.

most resins are okay to use with polyurethane clear coatings. i cant speak much to any of the newer waterborne formulas, but ive sprayed over many resins with the proper prep work without issue other than having to flatten everything out because of rogue air bubbles in the resin.
i cant help you with any aerosol options, but if you have access to an hvlp spray gun and an air compressor, get a product made by PPG called "flex n flat". ive used it numerous times on carbon fiber to make it look just like dry carbon, which is the look i assume you are going for.
