Yes, it does not matter which mold you use.

CF is expensive and the technique to do it right is complicated (compare to fiberglass).
The result are strong thin lightweight bodies. Whenever you drill holes or cut CF you need to wear a class III respirator these dust particles a pretty toxic.

If you like the looks of CF you can sand the surface and just apply clear coat.
