Spray bonnet black?

[Reuvers]

I've got another idea I'm playing with.
My mates are spraying another car the 28th and seeing as my hood is in quite shabby state, I was thinking of spraying it black.
What you guys think?

And, should I go for matt black or metallic black (clear coating)?

now with these wheels btw

don't do it! if it was a totally different colour (ie, red, blue, silver etc) then it'd be ok. But on such a dark grey car, it would look like either a) you had a poor paint job or b) look like you've had an accident recently and running around with a replacement bonnet not sprayed yet.


Don't! seriously!

Go with the same colour as your current wheels are ?
Or even Vinyl to save costs as more than likely you will change your wheels

Dude you feeling ok...?

It would tacky particularly now you have the dark wheels. If you're guna change it then only consider carbon fiber imo.

Like mat says, looks like it's waiting to be finished.

Did anyone see the Croatian Seat club posts a while back?
One of them had some black & grey action which looked pretty mean to be honest.
Just my 2pence worth.

this a hard one!
i personally think your car is to dark to pull it off
but if you really have your heart set on it i would go with the same colour you painted your wheels!
what about painting your roof too think that would work?
that way it wouldn't look like you have replaced your bonnet!
good luck with it!

get it vinal wrapped then if you get sick of it you can just wip it off

I dont think so mate most people will think you have had a crash and your waiting to have it spayed

 

[Reuvers]

hmm difficult.

I can see where you people are coming from with the 'unfinished look'

don;t particularly think that the black would look bad against the grey.
And as for costs, its not a problem. Will cost me only a couple of tenners.

Vynil would be far far more expensive for me.

I haven't decided yet...

anyone see means to photoshop something for me?

 

[mr_D]

go for the black. will look mint on a dark car. especially with the wheels black

As said above if you get it done, get the roof done aswell. Love black roofs!

 

[Reuvers]

sodd it, i think I've made up my mind.

IMO for the price i can't not do it.
and if its really horrible, then I'll get them to paint it back.

Id leave as is to be honest.
Unless your going carbon fibre...

Get the roof done aswell

[jam666999]

Lol I dont think it would look to bad at all to be honest, if you can get me or find me a decent picture, form sort a front side angle i'll photoshop it for you later on

Bit of topic well not really but this question has always puzzled me

Why do some taxi's have black bonnets and boots?? or is it just a yorkshire thing?
