Default Black Roof Hood and hatch?

Ive got a red 98 teg and the paint on my hood and hatch is starting to fade. I was thinking of painting them black but i cant find any pictures anywhere to see what this looks like. Does anyone have a link or a picture of this? Thanks guys and gals.

i would pull the black into the sides a lttle lower for a better look. like right around the pin stripe line. then put a different color pin stripe of paint of a different color to help soperate the two colors better. you can pretty much use any color pin stripe. gray and silver s would be my choice but if you have blue, green, white, even yellow accessories you wanna match to with the pin stripe then it will work well. just stay away from dark gray and oranges and maroons...colors that are too close to the red and black shades wont work well

Damn you, Patrick. I don't want to post in A&C.

This paint code failure is well known with Hondas. Did they ever extend good will?
