Powerbulge hood paint ideas?

i'm getting ready to paint my car, finally. so far, it looks like i'll be going with a charcoal pearl or a gunmetal.
my car will basically look like a GTA with a "powerbulge" hood and C5 rims. i want to accentuate the bulge on the hood somehow and i'm looking for ideas on how to do this. should i paint it a different color, or add some type of design to it? any ideas or pictures would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: Powerbulge hood paint ideas?

I think the black decals for the 82-84 TA's with power bulge hoods looks good. It starts out as thin black lines then gets wider until the back of the scoop/bulge is solid black with a bird design in it. My hood had one like that on it, but my wife talked me out of putting it back on. I still may add it later on when I get bored of the way it looks now.

Re: Powerbulge hood paint ideas?

i've thought about that too, but i also changed it a little. my idea was to paint it black, but fade the paint from thin at the bottom to thick at the top with maybe a deep red ghost bird in the middle...i don't know, just playing around with ideas. thanks for the reply.
