I think it will look like you bought an SS hood for a base model and couldn't afford to get it painted. I installed my ws6 hood for fitment check sprayed in plasti-dip and it looked like an unfinished car. I was hoping it would look decent and I could leave it that way for a while but it just looked like I didn't finish it.

I think it will look fine. I know it's not a camaro but below is a picture of my buddies black ws6 that I did paint correction on but the hood paint was shot so I dipped it.
Here is a picture if you're looking to see what it would look like contrast wise.
