Questions about Carbon Fiber

Hey I was wondering if I replace all of the possible OEM body panels with carbon fiber if it would make the car less safe. Also can you paint carbon fiber?

Thanks!

I cant say anything about the safety, but I do bodywork and paint on naked carbon fiber parts for helicopters all the time. They pinhole really easy but it can be done if the painter knows what there doing.

Just an educated guess but id say it wouldnt make the car a death trap. Its ultra light and has some flex to it.
