Someone please enlighten me.

From the man himself
Well Jimmy, it appears your thought that the color is sprayed on to the CF weave before the clear gloss is applied and not a tint in the gloss coat as I had thought, is correct. I must've misunderstood past descriptions, so I also learned something. However Emerald does it, they're masters at creating an awesome look.

Thanks for inquiring and sharing, bry.
