Pics of painted SS scoops Im am thinking about getting the SS hood I won on the raffle painted black like my car but with the scoop painted a gunmetal/silverish color. Anyways if you guys can post some close up picks it would help me get an idea of how to describe the scheme to the body shop. I dont care what color eithier I just need some pics. Thanks guys

Painting is to permanent! Try this, http://www.3rdgendecals.com/Manta.htm that way after a while if you don't like it you can take it off, its what I plan on doing when I get my SS hood in next week.

I paid $550 for the hood scoop and hood (a buddy of mine is a painter) to be painted with several coats of clear (on the whole hood) so you cannot feel the stripe. Plus this also includes the rear deck lid and spoiler (we have not painted that yet we are looking at next month some time)

wait, i'm confused now... is it your car Steve or Sandy's? the car in both your sig and Sandy's message has the same car number
either way, i also like the painted stripes, i'm gettin my car painted Hugger Orange soon with White stripes as soon as i can afford the Ultra-Z hood, spoiler, wings west body kit, and the grille

I'm currently working on a model where I'm painting the car true blue pearl, the manta a dark grey pearl, and I'm gunna paint a stripe that runs down the center of the scoop and down the front flat black. I hope it comes out pretty good but so far no luck. I keep screwing up on the hood.
