Hey guys, I just got a LightCarbon frame in UD matte finish. I was planning to paint it myself since none of LC's paint color options appealed to me.

Unfortunately I don't know where to start with painting this frame! Do I need to sand down the matte clearcoat finish or can I just go for it with a rattle can?
I'm planning to add clear frame protection when I'm done - will the frame protectors stick to everything or do I need a special finishing coat for the protector to stick to?

Thanks in advance
