Default Painted my hood, What ya think?





sanded, cleaned, 3 coats primer, flat black, flat clear.

Will give it a little sand to smooth out asap.

What ya think?

I like the contrast.

Probably getting a cowl hood scoop sooner than later for it too.

i saw the pic's ealier Brian. it came out really well.

what you need to do now (since you're obviously gonna keep it like that) is to paint the roof the same way, and to continue the theme down the grill, and onto the bumper (when you get around to replacing it).

i was also gonna say to continue it down the TG/rear bumper too, but not really sure if you want to it that far.

Looks great I would second the roof idea, maybe with a red stripe or two all the way down?

i was thnking after, about suggesting a wide stripe, with a thin one on either side of it.

two medium/wide stripes are too played out (IMO), since i've seen them on everything from the old Chevelle's & Camaro's, to a Chevette. even saw them on a Pinto.

Looks nice, however the paint doesn't look evenly sprayed on the bottom two pics (looks a little like tiger stripes though). What you could do is use that effect and really spray tiger-like stripes on it.
anyhow, i wouldn't be able to do such thing

Looks good def do the roof. Flat black is a pain to do. We just did a friends entire car in satin (with all the proper equipment) and still was a pain to get even.
