I think you have to sand it down to the cf and then re clear coat it possibly use a paint thinner

Yep, I would just sand the paint off with a fine grit and refinish it with a clear. Carbon fiber is strong enough to hold up to some sanding, so it's not like you're going to just sand right through it.
