I can only imagine a carbon fibre pattern paint is an impossiblity today, except in photoshop! :-)
Chances would probably be better if you look for an kind of an overlay that you can glue on top of what you would like to paint.

The real question is... Why? Unless, it follows the same theory of those 10hp stickers.

LOL, that reminds me of that paint brush on Looney Tunes that Bug Bunny would use. He'd paint whole murals with one swipe of the brush.
