    ^ that looks good. you need an accent in the black though. something to give it texture. it looks pretty 2-D now, and its definitely not a 2-D hood!

      Be careful. You "might" be opening yet another can of worms going with another paint scheme. The next guy might mess the car up worse. I say take it back and tell them to correct it. Once it's correctly matched up, then if you want, put vinyl stripes on it. Trust me on this, especially if the same guy is suggesting another paint scheme. Sounds like he wants more money out of you rather than correcting his own mistake. Good luck Steve.

        its not the same guy. It was just one of my good buddies from highschool (who has a fully streetable 9.8 second nova :drool: ) who was just giving me some suggestions. I really dont want to take it to the same guy. 1. i wasnt impressed with his work at all, and 2. its a fairly far drive from my house...
        I'll probably just take it somewhere at the end of the summer, and tell them they can take as much time as they need to repaint it (seeing as i wont be home till the end of december) and see if that could lower the cost at all due to them being able to work on it whenever they have some free time.

          well so basically you'll just let him go of his own mistake? you were a paying customer... if he doesnt get it right next time... get a refund.... or just get a refund right now....

            I believe he said he got a decent amount of money off of the price of the paint job. If he really wanted to keep it up with the guy he would have said no and got all his money back or had him redo it for free.

            I really like the SOM, I say get the hood painted the right color, do some research on the person who is painting it to find someone good even if it costs a little more, then you wont have to deal with crap. Also maybe go with black stripes or maybe something like that picture posted a few posts up.

              yeah. he didnt charge me anything for labor...
              And i did the research. He claims that the problem was with the place that mixes the paints for him... he was highly recommended by a bunch of people. I saw some of his work too, and it was impressive.

              Im not going to match the nose to the hood because i prefer the color of the original SOM. the hood color is too red for me.
