AAR Neon's hood finally painted!

[supertrick_05]

Yes, I finally got my hood painted! Yeah, it doesn't have the holes cut out like I planned (because my dad got it painted for me without me knowing...I was gonna work on the hood this winter), but I hope it will not be like that forever. Anyways, here's the pics...all comments are welcome, even the nasty, rude "that looks like ****" comments because they're inevitable :icon_lol:





















BTW, the paint is DuPont Hot Hues "HotRod" black. It's more of a semi-gloss than a flat, but I still think it looks pretty good and it layed on very nicely! Now I have to get my spoiler re-painted to make it as smooth as the hood.

Looks very cool, I was going to use Satin Black Rustoleum under my car, but I think I'm going to use Hot Rod Black now.

Go for it, it's really great paint...single stage, a few coats really lays on thick, and it's durable! Great product to use on old muscle cars with the flat/semi-gloss black stuff!

A nice piece of work.   Looks like a tough little rascal............

Looks GREAT!  I really like the finish. How was it to spray?  Awsome choice!! :2thumbs  That second pic could be a calendar shot !! Perfect!     The more I look at it,the more I like that black!!

For a Neon, it looks very good. Mopar should do something like this along these lines. Would probably sell more of them that way.

Now, I dont know what "inevitable" means,  -

- But, to me, that hood looks like a brand new one, just waiting to be painted...

It almost looks too smooth and plasticy like......Get off this site its a cuda/challenger site....quit stealing old school ideas for you car 

with the price to buy/restore old muscle these days I guess the kids today gotta do what they have to do....
I actually like the fact that you must respect old muscle to try to do your car up like an old AAR ..

Not my taste for power but I would take your car if it came with a remote control   

Good Job car looks great!

Great Job!!  Looks very cool. 

I wouldn`t mind at all to have your Neon in my garage.

Thanks guys, I'm glad you muscle car guys can have a lil appreciation for what I'm trying to do. My favorite Mopars are the Cudas and Challengers, but I like most of the 60's-70's Mopar muscle  Now I just need to make the lil guy perform...still has the stock 132hp that it came with from the factory. SRT-4 engine/tranny swap is very possible, but I'd need to find a wrecked car, and those are hard to come by...there is a company called Hahn Racecraft that makes a full bolt-on turbo kit for my car, but it's a wallet-draining $4500!!!! Im not sure what I'm gonna do yet.

I've seen those neons pull some incredible lap times at roadAmerica!  Fun to drive,They had a separate class too.

I think the hood turned out great!!!  I definitely agree with you that it needs some extra power now that it's carrying the "muscle car" theme, so maybe a pair of turbos could be your ticket?   I know I've enjoyed my little 9B's so far and already have my eyes on some bigger ones (16G's & larger SMIC's).

I agree, looks great.  Just needs a bit more power to back up the look.
