asullivan Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Playing around with an app on my iphone, started to have my thinking about going two tone on the hood... what do you all think? I would do it in a flat black and would really like to have a 1/2" victory red pinstripe offsetted about 1" from the border.

SSchevySS Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I like the idea, but have you thought of a all black hood with the angled part of the hood and above the grille left in red ? Also dig the black bowtie !!! A dude that was running around UK this spring did this on his and it looked pretty good !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have toyed with the idea of that as well, also thought about getting a cowl hood and doing it, but for some reason I am kinda stuck on the look of the factory hood lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been toying with the idea of Ghost hockey stick stripes W/ 6.0, ss or something in it, Like old school !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) I was going to do a flat black on parts of my hood, every body shop I talked to said the look wont last long or atleast look as good as when it was first done. No waxing can be done or it will bring it to a sheen, any stans etc will not come out. Etc Etc.... 3 different shops told me the same thing, It might cheaper going with a vinyl.... same look but not as expensive.

You know I wondered about that, my uncle has a similar design on his lightning and he said that if you go with a flat black to have it with a semi gloss because it will last a lot longer and is easier to clean, I figured I'd talk to the paint guys and see there thoughts, if all else ill just go with vinyl. Oh and cmoney23 the app is called color splash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
