Was that hood black out done in flat black, gloss, semi gloss, or something else. Has anyone put the 340 Wedge hood decal on with twin hood scoops? Thanks!

Aways did mine in semi gloss. Or matte finish because flat tends to fade and gets chalky. Just my opinion of course

Body guy just went thru hell to get mine looking right. First attempt was with one of the flattening agents mixed into regular clear, came out very spotchy. Second was with a "flat" clear of some sorts, was anything but flat. Ended up using Eastwoods rat rod thinned out a bit. Looks real good, no shine to it but it has a smooth finish. Just have to remember to lift it while waxing the car.....Was told that Harley Davidson has a flat black that looks real good, can be cleaned easily. Can only imagine how much $$$ they want for it.....

Hey,I just painted a six pack hood a couple days ago for my Duster. I used Eastwood Hot Rod Satin Black single stage paint. Think it came out great for shooting in a dirty garage. Heres aome pictures.

thanks for the links and pics. Did the bottom of the hood get painted black or body color from the factory?
