I just got my RK hood for the Mag, and I was wanting to possibly do something different than just OEM Black...but I want to keep things subtle with a good muscle car look...so nothing TOO flashy. Maybe doing the cowl part in a different tone, or with added flake or something...Not sure.
I find it hard to add color to a black car. I can only afford doing something to the hood at this time, so hold the ideas for two tone jobs etc...that will have to wait.
PLease guys...I want to get this done soon, so let your ideas fly!
Thanks and Much appreciated...PS photos would be great too.

I vote you just get some pinstriping... something on the scoop itself and then some smaller stuff on the sides of the scoop. Maybe use blue as a primary color with light and dark silvers to highlight?

Flat Black

Flat Black

Someone here did a hood in flat black, well satin is a better description I think. I saw a pure black Charger SE at the dealership, the only thing that wasnt black was the SE wheels. Immediatly I had visions, the hood scoop portion only paint flat/satin, f/s powdercoated wheels, tinted rear taillights and something different that, that I dont think anyone has thought of yet, tape off the chrome of the emblems and paint them flat black. Was gonna call her BOB, Black On Black. I wish that Dodge would have gone with a true black verses the black flaked metallic.

HLY CRAP did scallops on his hood. With the RK hood you could do a variation of his design, accenting the scoop. See his art work Under Magnum General Discussion > A true work of art.

I tried to show his pic. Not too good with pics as yet.

So I dropped off the hood today at a local shop..they are going to fix the damage and prep it for paint...so I have a few days to come up with a paint scheme. Terry, I loved the scallops on HLY CRAP's ride...
Good to hear from another Jax guy!
The shop does alot of candies and pearlecent flake jobs...I was thinking of doing the cowl in some sort of black/silver candy, so it's dark and has subtle highlights on the top edges of the cowl from the sun....and to have them airbrush the 345 on the hood in Red on each side.
Maybe highlight the vents on the hood in a scallop shape ?
It's tough without seeing the finished product...and I'm not that good a PS!
Keep the ideas coming guys!
I already have the underside of the hood figured out!

Do you really want to emphasize fake vents? Not saying it's good or bad, but it'll probalby make a difference in your decision on that one.

airbrush the dodge ram emblem on the hood in a ghost type way that you can barely notice it unless you are in the sun or under street lights. you know what i mean? that is one of my ideas for my car but go ahead and use it. i don't care.

How about ghost flames?

How about just the scoop done in flat (satin) black as it was done in the earlier days?

I've been contemplating this idea...I really need a photochop of this before pulling the trigger. Any help?

Yeah...I was was just talkin...I think you are right..I really don't want to emphasize them.

This is what I did to my cowl hood on my truck. I painted the cowl part black with a 1" stripe all around it. I got a ton of compliments.

I dropped it off at C&G Customs off of Atlantic Blvd. I met a guy who had a sweet green candy job over his Mag, and he recommended them.
