Help me decide on color design for my SS hood
I'm painting my Camaro a Victory Red, and I was debating whether to use black and red on my hood. I was also considering different designs if I was to use black and red.
I want to spray the hood red, and the scoop black, my wife thinks it's better to paint the whole hood red and black for the little area in front of the hood grill (3). My friend thinks I should paint the whole hood black.
please help me decide

Re: Help me decide on color design for my SS hood
Personally I like it all red. I was thinking about doing the little bit of black in the scoop myself but I decided that the little bit of black only looked good on the 4th gen cars and probably not on the 3rd gen.

Voted for option 1, but to tell you the truth either 1, 2, or 3 would work. I personally would not paint the entire hood black.

Black stripes and the side of the red hood would look well also

Re: Help me decide on color design for my SS hood
Stephen, my wife really likes your color recommendations, but she's not confident I'm capable of doing that color design. I like it too but I'm leaning toward solid red (just 'cause I'm afraid my wife is right).
By the way Rockyd, your car looks amazing!

Re: Help me decide on color design for my SS hood
You could always farm out the black part, after painting red, just to make sure it was done right.
Or get you some black sheet vinyl (carbon fiber pattern/wood grain/brushed aluminum/lots of choices) to either test ON THE CAR instead of a PS, or actually LEAVE it like that. Use good vinyl & it'll last you plenty long.

Re: Help me decide on color design for my SS hood
My vote is 1.Red 2.Black 3.Red
it looks so sick and if you have t-tops then the black would tie into that and if your window are tinted, then that too, just a hint of black always sets off a red car
