Default Hood Painting Yes or No!

So I've been thinking of painting the hood on my truck black, Should I go flat black or glossy black! What would look better? Or should I leave it the way it is now? What does everyone think? Help Me Decide

gloss would look better, but leaving it alone would look best.

If you paint it gloss black, paint the roof, and take that flame grill and decal off the side and it will look 100X cleaner

IMO, if you painted it, it would look like something happened to your original hood, so you bought a new one and were to lazy to paint it. I say leave it alone. Some hood scoops would look sweet instead

As said before I would just ditch the decals and grille insert and call it a day. Great looking truck though!

But I say leave it. If someone photoshopped it that would help to

^^X2 it would look like one of those little cars with body kits and 7 diff colors because every part came from a junkyard, leave it and ditch the decals
