I noticed Cervini's has a prepainted hood option these days and was wondering if anyone has gone this route? I was thinking of getting their Type IV hood but I thought that you have to pre-fit all hoods before painting. Would I be taking a risk with having the hood prepainted before seeing if it even fits right? Their painting service is only $349. That's a lot cheaper than leaving it at a shop and having them prep & paint it. Being prepainted, you can just install the hood when it ships to your house.
I think you cant go wrong with Cervinis prepainted hoods.... make sure there is no damage before signing and releasing the driver during delivery...
So you're saying that Cervini's usually fits good right out of the box? I'd really like to get a hood and this is so convenient not having to leave your car at a paint shop to have them install and paint it. If the consensus says that Cervini's fit ok out of the box then I'll go ahead and get one.
EDIT: I just learned on the Cervini's forums that they only paint the topside but I guess that really doesn't matter unless you're going to show the car.

The factory only paints the top, you only notice if your hood blanket isn't on. They will paint the bottom from Cervini's but it's about $500. I can say I've never heard a bad word about Cervini's quality though.

I can't speak about the quality of cervini's paint jobs, but I know that the quality of their hoods is typically second to none. I know when the shop installed mine last summer they said that they didn't adjust it at all, they just bolted it up and went with it. Now I dunno how much of that is bs but the hood is straight with even panel lines all the way around, so it's a really good piece.

Never had a Cervini hood that didn't fit right...
I'm sure they must have a bad one out there but their consistency is spot on.
They also make sure you have plenty of gelcoat, in order to give a nice support for paint materials.
That little fact here, is huge in fiberglass quality
