The paint on my hood is obliterated and i have a green decklid on my blue car since the 3rd brake light sprung a leak. Of course i dont have cash to have the whole car repainted, so what about satin black on the hood and decklid, which i could do myself... I think ive seen some trooper cars with at least the hood black. my hope was that since its a convertible the two black panels would look decent and maybe a little more "finished". anyone have thoughts, or pictures? i googled but came up short.

(picture shows an hour of wax on the hood, trust me its done for)

If you rattle can it, after a couple years it'll turn gray and look worse than your blue does now.

It would look ok since your top is black.... good thing about rattle can, is if it gets bad, just rattle can it again

Your car looks gorgeous. Don't ruin it with a crappy paint job.

Lol, mustang5l5, your avatar looks gorgeous! I promise, my hood looks like a blue chalk board without copious amounts of wax and a cell phone picture. I don't necessarily have to rattle can it, I could just spray an off the shelf satin black through the cheap gun I have. If I got a few years out of a 50 dollar paint fix, so be it. The green decklid is such and eye sore on a blue car.

It would look good if done right. Save up and have a pro do it.

I personally think it will look like something fell on your hood and deck lid and you had to replace them and didn't get them painted yet.

I'd say go to Maaco and get the two deck surfaces painted to match your car. Coming from somebody who HAS a hot rod black hood, even that process requires somebody who knows how to paint. ( My guy was/is a painter, and you can still see a pattern in the black)
If the rest of the car is good, but matching paint would be too obvious, maybe a two tone? (also at Maaco) couldn't be more than 300 bucks tops.

I've always liked supermotos. I rode my buddies KTM 625 and it was a blast.

Anyway, sorry for thread jack, back to topic.

Personally, if you're going to paint the hood, might as well get a fiberglass and save some weight

Seriously, that vert is sharp. Save up, get the hood and deck lid sprayed to match. Mike
