Default Getting an HO Fibertrends cowl hood! Paint?

Can't wait! What have you guys been paying to have the hood painted? With Mineral Grey what should I expect to pay? I am going to most likely install it myself. Trying to find a shop that will let me ship the hood directly to them to be painted so I can save some cash. Seems to be the best hood for the money and I plan to order it with cut outs and mesh. My under hood temps are crazy hot so hopefully it helps! Any other info I should know?!

Oh yeah it's a 95 cobra R style

Great choice on hoods. Not going to lie, if you car was mine I'd probably rock a black hood.

I thought about it but I guess I would need to see it in pictures or something first. I just am not sure! I hate to paint it black and not like it ya know...

Just go mineral gray with the paint for now...

You can always add some vinyl later on...

Unless someone has some pics of mineral gray with a black cowl hood that might convince me otherwise?

get a carbon Fiber hood. It would look Great on your mineral vehicle. Plus you save money cause you dont have to paint it.
