Get a nice used carbon bike, sand all the paint off it and clear coat it with a UV resistant polyurethane. That'll work. I sanded down my old Trek 5200 this year after the paint was peeling off it anyway. Maybe I'll repaint, maybe I'll clear coat. I've had it out a few times naked and love how that looks with my new black no-logo rims. Can't keep that up, though. The carbon under all that paint is quite lovely. Nice job of building that frame. I threw the headtube badge away though.
