It's easy enough. Go to CRCs (the pan car mfg) and look for the tut to give a smooth piano black finish to the edge of your CF. I follow those except instead of using black marker, I used silver. I then sand again as to see where the silver dissapears to get the high spots again, then apply silver again. Before CAing the edge, I used Createx candly blue (I think it was....but use whatever color you desire) and I applied with a q-tip. I do several coats, then use a razor and run it along the top and bottom of CF to remove excess on chassis. Then CA the edges as in the CRC tut and wetsand as many times as needed to get it smooth. Due to the paint not bonding as well as CA to the CF, this is not as durable as a piano black finish.
