I have a general knowledge question: Do carbon fiber airframes need to
be painted in light colors to avoid overheating the composite on hot,
sunny days? I know fiberglass airplanes can suffer damage when parked on
a very hot ramp, but I was wondering if carbon fiber has the same
problem. Do both materials use the same epoxy?

Thanks,
