Looking to repaint the carbon fiber hood on my Z to match the body and I wanted to leave a little carbon still showing somewhere. With about 4 hours of adobe experience this is what I've come up with so far with the last being what it is now..any suggestions or criticism(on paint ideas not photoshop)?

 

second one is kinda cool, but i would include the raised part of still being carbon.... make it stand out some

 

That could work also, I was kinda torn which way to illustrate it...damn technology giving us too many options :P

 

I second what travlee said. Or just leave it how it is.

 

like this.... not as pretty as yours because i did it with snipping tool, but you get the point or just do the raised edges, and the part behind the vent blue also

 

Yea I see what you mean I kinda like those options better thanks.

I wanted to paint the hood to help protect the carbon fiber and the previously owner clear coated it himself which is not in that good of condition.

 

I'd paint the whole hood blue to match, and paint the grilles black also

I'm not a fan of the stainless steel mesh

Looks weird to me. But then again I don't know, I've never seen anyone try this. Maybe a blue candy?

 

+1 for Trav's MS Paint skillz

 

+2 I like the first pic trav made better but it might be too little amount of CF in person. Hard to tell without seeing it in person

 

oh no you didn't........ shooooooo

 

Ok got some ideas from you guys and heres my final 3 options I changed the mirrors, lip, and grill insert on hood to be black/gunmetal. keep in mind the blue area's are just a place holder.

 

3rd one of those choices.

 

Yea I keep coming back to these and liking the third one the most too

 

Yup. 3rd
