XedLos Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I am painting my 280ZX and want to my hood scoop black. Im just not sure how to go about doing it. Should i just do the top or paint the entire scoop. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any pic examples would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XedLos Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Just unbolt it from the hood and paint the entire thing I actually meant only the hood scoop. Im painting the entire car blue and i was thinking of painting the hood vents and the hood scoop black. Im not sure if anyone else has done it. I just wanted to get some examples and ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75280z Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 you mean the bulge? I would look into taping it off after the rest of the car is painted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgsheen Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) I actually meant only the hood scoop. Im painting the entire car blue and i was thinking of painting the hood vents and the hood scoop black. Im not sure if anyone else has done it. I just wanted to get some examples and ideas What he said (Zguy91)... The vents and scoop are plastic. They bolt on to the hood. Really easy to unbolt, clean up, and spray (well... easy to unbolt as a rule, maybe not so easy to clean up and sand smooth, easy to spray...). My Son and I took 280ZXT scoops, modified them (trimmed off most of the "vent" part), rattle-canned them black, and installed them on our earlier Z cars when we did our turbo swaps... Paint shop could do it in single-stage if you don't want to rattle-can. They look good completely black...
