Default Cant pick a color for manta and i need to pick TODAY!!!

I have a black camaro that is getting an SS hood. I can decide whether to paint the manta black, satin black or match it with my wheels(gunmetal/charcoal).

Let me know what you guys think

Here is a pick of my wheels.

Can anyone photoshop this??

Can't wait to see what you decide. I would think the gun metal would look good.

if you're going to do satin, the matching satin berger would go nice.

but my vote if for color matched to rims, but dont color match the berger, just don't do the berger at all.

My vote goes to color matching the wheels. It'll be subtle but look great. Only downfall is that if you ever get new wheels, ur gonna want to match em back to the same color

I have a black camaro, my old ss hood had a gunmetal silver on the manta, looked nice. Dont have any pics with hood on the car though, as it was shitty chinese hood that came with the car, and since then i put on an oem black hood. Go for the gun metal looks nice.

could always do vinyl first of each color/option and then choose for yourself...Im personally going to do a flat/matte black on my black SS whenever I get around to it so Im a little partial to the black on black
