Opinion wnated on hood idea

Good reference thread here and where most of the pics in this thread originated.

 

I would consider doing the plastidip thing, but only on the skewp top surface, or get a decal from Sockmonkey

 

Out of the two posted, this one gets my vote.

 

i added the black (harley davidson matte black) to reduce glare back from the rack lighting...it was done in birmingham,al at "tucker paint and body", for what i consider a great price and a real nice job..there is a contour on the hood which goes around the "a-pillars"...this color follows that line...the contour line is obvious as it wraps around the "a-pillars"...i had an 83 mustang gt with simular hood treatment and i always liked matte accents...plus after de-badgeing,the truck looked like a refrigerator on wheels..yeah,i coulda went a couple of different ways with the lay-out,but this took the least amount of prep and masking...anyway,i was actually planning on reinstalling the "bug/wind deflector"...so the break-up would have been somewhat cleaner between colors...but i decided not to..it's cool like it is to me

 

Vehicle wraps are sick, very labor intensive as you can see in the video. The results are awesome though. Great video!

 

Vossen has all kinds of great videos. Wraps are really nice if you get a good installer. I was thinking of having my car wrapped but what scared me was the blade - didn't want my paint affected. With the lesser experienced installers, often times I've seen bubbles or slight tears that begin at corners because they've cut too close. I don't think it would be an issue with a hood though. Not sure but I think it would be cheaper than a hood sticker?

 

I think it would also look better than a hood sticker. Depending on price of doing the wrap, I would wrap a car before painting it to retain the origanal value. I think I may do this to my wifes next car if its not a POS

 

i just did this to my hood yesterday with plati dip, i think it looks amazing

 

Holy revival. Pics or it didn't happen.
