Default Need Opionions & Pics

Iv had my outlaw hood for about a month now and I want to paint it. But I'm not sure I should paint it to match the color of the car or just paint it black. My color is chameleon blue green an iv been told it's not going to be a dead on so I was thinking of jus getting it mattle black with the xxr 962 in black as well. Iv seen people with this done if u guys have pic of Red white or watever color car an all black hood can I get some pics I need ideas. It's also a t top too and I would consider doing the ceta mods on the mirrors here's my car

I'm not a huge fan of a black hood on a car. If it was my car I would try to get the hood painted to match as close as I could.

Paint to match.
IF your painter can't get it close, ..., paint the whole car.

black hoods on non-black cars, kinda seem ricey. Ive only seen like 2 different cars pull it out nicely. One was a black hood on a white camaro and the other was carbon fiber hood on a black firebird. Yours doesnt look half bad, but i think it would look better with a matching hood in this case. But its your car, if you like it, go for it.

Paint it the color of the car. Your painter should be able to get it pretty close.

I love that color, find someone who can match it for you, I would do the ceta bumper, keep the mirrors as they are. I know people drool to SOM but this color is underrated.

Color match for sure. Even if it's slightly off it will still look better than black in my opinion
