You may be able to by sanding it back very gently to reveal the carbon without taking all the lacquer off. Then have it re lacquered.

I agree with mneame, take your time and dont use too corse a paper, maybe start off with something like a 240 or 400 wet n dry and gradually use a higher grade as you get through the paint. I dont claim to be an expert but i have repaired a few carbon parts in the past, hope this helps
