carbon fiber paint removal - Speedzilla Motorcycle Message Forums
Removing Paint from Carbon Fiber - Ducati.ms - The Ultimate Ducati Forum

I've started doing something similar to a painted CF spoiler.
I'd seen some of the threads above and started with a mini hand sander using 400 grit papers. Next step will be 800 and then 1200 grit paper before spraying with lacquer to seal and reveal the CF weave.
The advice I found was that chemical paint removal could be tricky on CF and not totally successful.
