There are many car that have been coming with cf for years. I dare say if they didnt hold up, they wouldn't keep making them. While its painted, the 992 GT3 RS comes with most of its body being cf.
Do you think companies like Capristo and Vorsteiner would remain in business if the cf parts they made and installed on supercars failed?

It's easy when the cars are in garages most of the time. Have you seen cars from the 2000's with exposed carbon? Honestly most look terrible IME 15yrs later.
I agree if you ceramic coat and take care of it it will last. Same is true for normal paint though.
Edit:The other thing is: it's simple, epoxy and resin turns yellow in sunlight. There's no getting away from that.
I've been cycling since 2005 on and off. Anything but the best carbon frames look terrible after so many years in sunlight.
