Just a thought- leave the hood black and give it an SOM manta? Just planting a seed for thought.

You can do decals or paint, not sure how good the metallic painted color decals look.
I played around trying to give u an idea of how it would look, it was done in MS paint so I did my best:


hope it helps

I think he was planning on painting the hood red and doing the manta black.

I've seen a car in that exact color do the black hood with red manta though - I didn't like it much.

IMO our cars dont look good with black hoods because of the front bumper cover. The old school cars that had they had a flat front end so right after the hood was the grille, no extra paint to make it look bad.
