Opinion needed!!

[metalmonkey47]

I'm about to go back to work painting my car, but I need help making a tough decision.

 

I have some jet black for my hood. The question is, should I make the whole hood black, or should I do the raised cowl in the center??

whats the car color?

 

IMO - probably the entire hood (& a rising sun on the cowl? :mellow: )

[metalmonkey47]

Candy apple red

 

Rising sun would love dead sexy on the car.

 

Perhaps jet black BRE stripes as well?

Personally I think the rising sun and black hoods are becoming way to overdone.

 

I've always thought the black hoods just make the car look like the owner didn't feel like taking the time to finish his project properly.

agreed, black hoods are way over done IMO. unless they are carbon fiber, or your doing a panda Hachiroku

Personally I think the rising sun ... are becoming way to overdone.

i was surprised to see... none @ canby.

 

i was thinking smaller & on the cowl section only

[metalmonkey47]

Cowl it is

 

I don't wanna be like anyone else, which is why I had the thought originally.

 

I'll be back with pictures later

depends on color of the car. Some 510s look cool with them with Watabnabee wheels too!!!!!!!!!

I sometimes thought of this also.

Looks like ass IMO. The thought was cool, but the paint came out shitty. The whole hood is just fucked at this point. I sanded down the whole hood before I sprayed on the black and wet sanded after. It's just crappy. I'm gonna strip the whole hood down to the metal in a few days and start from scratch the right way.

Doesn't look that bad. Kind of like the Chrysler cars of the late 60's and early 70's.

I want to paint the hood and cowl satin black on my 620.

[metalmonkey47]

Just not good enough for me. Too many bumps and shittttt.

It's okay though, because it's all just test painted anyways.

Passenger has filler :P Just a shitty job sanding it. It looked straight before, but once the paint went on it was HORRIBLY obvious it wasn't. haha

 

It's only been driven like... twice I think since that incident. lol
