Hood Paint?

[krausean]

Hi, I thought i'd screw around with photoshop a bit and so i "painted" my hood red! I did not modify the wheels, they already have the red lip on them. I have a red and black leather interior in the car so i was trying to go with the red theme on the outside as well
Let me know what you guys think and if you have any suggestions!

Thanks

Maybe in a Charcoal or silver but not red. But that's my opinion.

I don't think it's that bad, but maybe continue the red on the roof and down the back so it doesn't look like you have a spare hood from a junked red p5.

I think it looks pretty good actually. Looks more unique than a lot of others.

maybe tone the red down a notch..

 

[GreyMan]

yeah, try tone it down a bit. needs to be a darker red like your rims.

Agreed, if you're gonna do it, make it flow all the way to the back, not just the hood.

Very unique though.

A nice deep red black would look really good on it.

That would look really nice, too. I like how rednecks_r_us has his just flowing across the top. Looks real clean.

Wow

Holy crap that's a lot of feedback!!! Thanks a lot for the comments guys. I was wondering if it would look like s***...lol...oh well, had to give it a shot anyhow.
I was trying to think of colors to use but couldn't come up with anything that would look good with black and since my interior has a fair bit of red in it i thought it might look good on the outside as well...but what do i know right(notcool). I'll give the charcoal a shot for sure though. Thanks for the comments...especially the negative ones...lol.

Cheers, Andreas

I agree that you should run it down the back so it doesn't look like you had to get a scrap hooddddd

Thats what I think of carbon fiber hoods. from a distance it looks like a replacement hood that you couldn't afford to get painted. It reminds me of a white body kit on a blue honduh. Mismatched.

If you are going to make your car a two tone then do it completely. Tie the colors together as a package.

Go to a few body shops and get ideas from the guys that do custom paint for a living.

Hey that's a good idea...i guess the pros should know what would look good eh. Thanks for all the feedback!

The red in the center of the hood looks good IMO. The entire hood red does NOT look good.
