New hood. :)

Stefalicious · 10-12-2009, 08:01 PM

While getting shipped to me from a member on GAOC the hood got completely trashed some of you may know. Well after months of bending, fiberglassing, bondo'ing, sanding and some primer it is now ready for paint. Here it is, i love it. Now im trying to figure out how i want to paint it, red to match the car, or black to match my spoiler, or a lil of both.

If you paint it black I will come down there and beat your ass RED so you get the idea.

RED RED RED.

burgett2103 · 10-12-2009, 08:08 PM

paint it red and do the inside of the scoop black

Ya i was thinkin something like that too. But i might have a friend of mine whos really talented at airbrushing do some kind of design that goes along the hood, fenders, and front bumper but idk yet.

alerored04 · 10-12-2009, 09:16 PM

I would do the red and black as suggested and then have your airbrush friend do some work inside the black area.

Ya tru, but i wanted the graphics to take up a lot of the space, maybe do the graphic black on the red and then red on the black, but then it might be too busy.

Interesting hood, not sure if I like it on a grand am. Maybe after paint

alerored04 · 10-12-2009, 09:56 PM

I prefer simple things so a little bit is the most I would do.

i_ammetal · 10-12-2009, 11:13 PM

Red to match, and black from the inside of the scoop down along the crease.

That would look sick.

^This would go nice if the design is not to complex.

Although I would do something much more simple like the others have suggested.

Just do not get it painted then punch it....

Do you have something against matching colors?

Also, did you buy that from an SE owner from Texas?

AaronGTR · 10-13-2009, 11:33 AM

Looks better. I say red with a black stripe ala '67 corvette stinger hood style. It would look kinda neat too with a black stripe with some type of airbrushing inside the stripe.

How do you figure that its not goin to match, the rest of my car is black and red, are you color blind?? And no.

[ChaosweaveR] · 10-13-2009, 02:06 PM

I'm not. You're goofy wing is black. That's not enough to pull it together. Paint match it, random colored pieces are not cool.

My rims are goin to be black too soon. And something has to be black with the spoiler to bring in more black, the spoiler is ugly in red and it looks stupid being the only black thing on the outside other then my windows, gas cap and wipers.

CraiGT · 10-13-2009, 07:37 PM

Paint it black. So I can call you SteFAILie.

Red FTW.
