Default Paint the hood? Ideas pleez.....

I said %$#@ it, I'm getting a new hood while my car is getting fixed. I ordered the Seibon CF hood and think it'll look better if it's partially painted. I kinda like what this guy (the dude I ordered the hood from) did with his Z hood. Any other ideas out there? I was thinking of painting the front blue and having it fade into CF towards the back?????
Thanx in advance.......cept' you Bobby.

I would say paint it, but I know you're getting your wheels with a "black chrome" finish. I'm gonna have to see the finished product with the hood on to decide.

There are ZERO black chrome Volks in stock.......have to wait until the next shipment comes from Mackin Industries. I don't have time. I spent 4 days calling every resource I could.......so, I got the same exact wheels/tires combo I currently roll with. One resource (Discount Tire Center in El Monte) said the black chrome Volk color was being discontinued due to some discoloration. Hmmmm.

Whatever you do, don't keep that shit carbon fiber. A CF hood would completely ruin the classy/elegant look.

I honestly don't like the hood at all, but its your hood.
