Default LoveFab Hatch : CF + Pearl
So last week I got tired of looking at my oxidized CF hood, so I decided it was time to try something a little different. Rubbing compound did not help so I knew it was time to re-clear the hood. Instead of just spraying the clear down I figured why not have some fun and throw some red pearl in it first. So thats what I did, and I think it turned out looking pretty cool.

yay/nay?

I remember colored CF hoods from a few years back. Looks good I guess.It kind of just looks like it doesn't match.

Yeah it did unfortunately. Used a regular paint gun to do it. Not sure if we mixed too much pearl in or what because no one had an answer as to how much to put in.

looks nice... I would paint it the same color as the rest of your car and go for the sleepy look.
