I am on the verge of ordering a CH 750 kit, and I would like to make a few parts out of carbon fiber (most significantly the instrument panel). From what I have learned, simply priming is not enough to prevent galvanic corrosion. I am having a hard time finding information on how best to do this.

DarkAero uses a very thin perforated fiberglass to electrically isolate the panel. I can't tell if this is commercially available, or if they made it themselves. They also simply mention using paint on the carbon fiber. I'm a little nervous to simply paint both pieces.

Also, are there any special considerations in using titanium blind rivets? I'm probably biting off more than I should be as a first time builder, but I have 8 months to research.
