Monday, November 15, 2010 3:43 PM
k i have a 95 sunfire, just had the entire car painted viper blue with metalic flake.. I just got a good deal on an rk sport ram air hood with evil eyes.. Im not sure what to paint it.. Should i go same color as car. Matte black, or gloss black with some flake too, or even without. I want it to pop out a bit. As far as exterior the only other thing done is black 17 inch konig verdict rims.. Thank you

thanks for the reply. I am deeply considering that since i do not have much black on my car. Do you think the hood will still pop out being the same color as the car?

Do something with it.
A simple, clean pinstripe, up the middle, on one side, on both, whatever. If you want it to pop, do something simple.
It wont look bad from far away, and from close, it'll be one of those "Ohh, i see what you did there" things.

i say body color or it will look unfinished like you just grabbed a hood and slapped it on.

truth. you just spent the time and money to paint your car a custom color. why ruin it with a hood that will look unfinished.

if you want a two tone look, execute it fully or don't do it at all.
