Hi Richard,
When you want to achieve a smooth surface with fibreglass, the last, the final coat is a so-called veil which has about 90% resin and is attached to the prefinal coat of glass matt.
Is that available in carbon fibre? I dinna ken ... but my background was never in carbon fibre but FRP.
Sorry that I can't be of more help.
