Re: painted hood scoop fins
Should have matched the color of your stripe.
Looks pretty good. Not something I'd do.

Re: painted hood scoop fins
Did that to ours and I think it looks great! You do need to put some shine on that Shaker.

Re: painted hood scoop fins
What paint did you use? Did you mask? or just free hand it with a brush?

Masked it off and sprayed it with aluminum engine paint.

Re: painted hood scoop fins
Actually, quite a few people did that. some just sanded the black off and polished the fins. or stripped it and polished the entire shaker.

Re: painted hood scoop fins
I'd treat it like I do the Cobra Jet badges. Not something I'd do, but it does'nt look bad. Shaker looks faded to me, too.
