Red face help deciding color of hood!

thought it would be a great way to come back to the site and get opinions on my hood

i recently received a tuscany hood and installed it.
i originally was going to paint it yellow but now after seeing how it looks
im not sure if i should paint it black or go with yellow?

what do yall think?

also, should i paint the yellow gaurd around my grill black aswell if i go with black?

Doesn't look right like that. It looks like it could have potential to be black but not like that. Maybe if you painted the grille surround black as well??

Paint it yellow and then paint the headlights black. Grille surround looks good in yellow

If you decide to go black on the hood, maybe have the cab roof, around the rear window, and the side of the front windsheild that goes over the door painted black as well. Then if you paint the inside of the bed (or have it Line-'d) your truck will look black from above and yellow and black from other angles. Just a thought, maybe it's time to sleep.

You should actually custom build paint your headlights black and yellow to make it an even transition from the hood to the grille surround. That would look pretty tight.

Personally, I would'nt go black for the hood. I would paint it dark shadow grey to match your lower two tone. Also paint your heads DSG. And leave your grille surround yellow for the time being, untill you see what it looks like. Great looking truck by the way...

I don't think it was two toned with dark shadow gray. I think when it was brand new it was black just the sun got to it some and made it a little faded.

If you have photoshop or know someone with you should have them play around with it.

thanx for the compliment highhorse
but i actually plan on painting that grey tone black in the future when i get a chance.
so going black would the obvious choice lol

and lateknight it actuallyis grey. sides and both front and rear bumpers, will be black
in the future though! along with my headlights.

and mach, i have no idea man. my step dad works at a dealership and they had
one stored up for about a year or 2 and were gonna throw it away
they gave it to my step dad though and now i got it ha.
but its from a tuscany truck so im assuming youd have to go to tuscany, or maybe
even a dealership
