So it'll look like a police jeep? By the way, painting the hood was the hardest part of painting my jeep. Maybe you'll end up painting the whole thing!

Should look fine. My header panel, hood, and cowl are satin black, the rest of mine is maroon for now, it doesn't look bad imo, but I'm painting my whole Jeep satin black, I don't plan on leaving it like that for long. Just don't have time to prep and paint my whole Jeep at once.

one thing i ALWAYS do before i paint anything is take a picture of your jeep.... put it in paint and explore different painting options and find the one that YOU like the best... youll be original and youll have a good idea of what its gonna look like before you do it!

I did most of my hood with plastidip. I did most of the roof too, for the fun of it.

In case you do the roof, it looks good if you line the black up with the rear window.
