Painting underside of hood?

I thought about white to match the rest of the truck but it may get dirty looking. I would like to see what you guys have done.
Thanks

Black to resemble the unpainted EDP coating originally seen with a bit of body color overspray along the sides.

Mine is black on the underside but any overspray was unintentional on my part...

Mine is painted satin black. FWIW, be careful prepping the surface. If you generate too much heat you will see it on the outside surface. Don't ever sandblast (even lightly).

Re: Painting underside of hood?

Thanks guys your input means alot. My hood has the overspray markings similar to Deadmans pic. I'll get it clean from the (stuff) oil and other baked ons that has collected over the years and with a little scotchbrite, degreaser and then some low gloss black paint.

FWIW; I've had excellent results with this product for satin black. It's extremely durable and UV stable. I painted my hood underside with it as well as diff housings and wheel wells.
