Camaro Stinger Hood Paint Question

[m22mike]

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: supercar</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I bought one of the metal Stinger hoods for my 69 RS/SS Camaro. It will be painted Lemans Blue with Dover White stripe. My question is what do you do about the void in the scoop opening? The best I can determine a 427 Vette scoop insert wont fit in the hole without cutting out the scoop. Should I paint it Black or leave it body color? And would you paint it Black and clear over it or paint it semi flat Black after it is painted? </div></div>

Here is one I did on a 67. See the berore and after shots on the blackout. It looks a little unfinished with just body color. My vote is to paint the inlet area black, looks way better than body color...I think... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]
On this car I went with 1/8&quot; stripe and spacing to match the OE front paint stripe.
Another suggestion when doing the top white stripe, hold it short of the black out are rather than running it into the black out,I think it looks better, JMO
Now Git er done and show us the pictures... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
