Painted my RC Hood

I was kinda sketchy on flames too, but it looks spectacular in person. The airbrushing really adds to the effect. Very nice work Rob!

How much would it cost to have a CF hood painted in general? Im sure as hell not patient enough to DIY it.

For a paint job like mine you could easily pay upwards of $500 (5.5hrs of labour - at whatever price your guy charges)... that's why I DIYed with my buddy.

Just for reference, painting a CF hood is no different than painting a regular hood...Pricing would be the same unless you were doing something custom like this hood.

I thought I read that it takes longer to get all the imperfections out of a cf hood, so thats why I was thinking it would cost more... just dreamin. Thanks

It is different then painting a regular hood because CF hoods come wavy, they all do. I dont think I have ever seen a CF hood that was as straight as a metal hood. If you want it to be straight your going to need to block and prime the hood, and sand it. Then prep and paint over top.

And DAMN, they did a really good job on the CF flames on your hood, looks really sweet!
