I think I'd paint it white because it's to unfinished looking, like you got in an accident and the hood hasn't been painted yet lol. I hope they use a light colored primer because the black would really show through with nicks from rocks or whatever.
Brother I live in Texas too. I took off my wide ass black shaker stripes to beat the summer heat. How hot you think that hood is gonna get?
Also he is right, looks like a primer hood
I thought the theory of black hoods on cars were usually to paint them "flat vs. glossy" in order to reduce glare....... If you paint it glossy black it may end up looking like Adam-12. Just my opinion.... It's your car, do what makes you happy and enjoy. :thumbsup:
You are correct and I have it flat now, but not liking the constant maintenance of it. Going to wrap it. I had low gloss on another car and no issues with glare at all. Appreciate the feedback too.
What did you end up doing? Wrap it or paint it glossy black? I am thinking of getting a glossy black hood and was curious if anyone has done that instead of the satin. I think it will look fine but curious if anyone has a photo from one they did.
