Hmm... that doesn't look like paint to me... it's more like a stretched vinyl print over the part. you can buy some Carbon Fiber-look heat sheets that you can stretch over your parts to give them the same look. Many will come with adhesive backed on them already to it will be a matter of heating it and applying it.

If you look at the part in the picture, you most likely will not see an edge or wrap on the piece. The color layer was probably embedded into the piece when it was molded.

I don't know of any paint places that paint simulated carbon fiber. I think it would be too tedious of a work to do such a thing.

AHHH! A pattern dipping place. I forgot about those places. That would work great for getting the parts colored, but it may not be a perfect match.
