Trying to mimic the carbon fiber hoods on the rice burners

Rollinsqrbdy · 02-14-2010, 01:05 PM

maybe you need to learn to read? (i'm not trying to flame, i just take some offense to being called a ricer) trying to mimic the matte black hoods on old mopars.
even though i'm not elmulating anyone i think it looks good, the decision to go black was made because my new $500 hood was primered grey and it looked bad the cowl will get blacked eventually..

Rollinsqrbdy · 02-14-2010, 01:51 PM

Its black i just got it not to long ago and havent had the chance to get it primered to match the rest of the truck. Its the black primer they send it with

i know that in the older days over here some people painted there hoods matt black to keep the glare out of there eyes aspecially with white cars

*BGRAFX* · 02-14-2010, 05:09 PM

Whoa...Simar down....You asked has anyone seen trucks with black hoods? I didn't say you specifically were a ricer. I was just making a generalized statement. I understand that cowl hoods and parts in general come primered. Sorry this is what I was thinking when I Read the question....

86swb · 02-14-2010, 05:58 PM

I am sure he just misunderstood you. I knew what you ment.

Tezjoe84 · 02-14-2010, 06:10 PM

jdclemons · 02-14-2010, 07:51 PM

lol definantly misunderstood you, i would never paint my hood black for that purpose.
however a black and silver paint job may be in the works but it'll be the whole top of the truck.

i just noticed how after i primered my cowl hood black out of neccesity (it was primered grey with a rust spot) alot of trucks i saw every friday and saturday night at the local hangout started primering perfectly good painted hoods black... most notably a guy with a '72 c-10 that was a beautiful light blue primered over a perfect paintjob
