See Darwin post about using fiberglass with the Carbon Fiber.
Carbon Fiber on aluminum is corrosive. From "Bonding Metal" 1/2 way down this page:

Ut oh. I knew that it could not be as easy as it seemed. I have applied a thin sheet of carbon fiber to my subpanel. I just stuck in on using the adhesive backing. It looks like I will be removing it and putting a layer of fiberglass under it.
Perhaps Darwin will be kind enough to share his method with us.
