    I was at the AMA Superbike races at Barber last year and I looked at several Aprilia Milles that had some carbon fiber finished "bright". On several of these bikes, the carbon was discolored and cloudy and almost looked like it was starting to come apart.

    Does sunlight damage carbon fiber if it is not painted?
