ok guys i have a pearl white 91z with chrome rims and tinted windows with blackouts. im going to repaint my headlamp pockets gloss black and was wondering if you think black hood blisters would look good. new and different. i would go buy another set and paint them so i could have pearl and black blisters. i think it would look alright gimme some input!

 

I think they would look weird......

Have them white

Just my .02

 

It would make the blisters really stand out. I guy I used to work with had a maroon 92 and he painted the blisters black. I thought that it would look bad, but it didn't look bad

 

I would leave them white. But thats just my opinion, its your car.

 

Pick up some black contact paper, cover them, then make your decision. It is going to be a personal taste...

 

I don't think it would look too bad. I think if you painted them black and maybe had some black lace GTA rims it would look pretty good.

 

I've wanted to do that for the last year now.

I think the black blisters on my white vert would be da shiznit!

Someday . . .

 

post a pic of your car, with a decent hood shot, And i'll photoshop it for ya.

 

I found a white z28 to use, It basically has the same effect has the black hood louvers.

 

looks good... but jaws... that pic of the 5th gen, it looks like a .... mustang... sorry... the angle of the nose just reminds me of a 70 mach 1... here is a nice one....

 

ya I know about the front end, I've done a new one, but haven't had time to uplaod it to my website thank change my sig.

 

wow, those black blisters look better than i thought, pretty tight.

I painted the blisters on my 91 Z convt. black. The car's yellow, everything, the headlight pockets, even the space where the license plate is. They were yellow at first, but I decided to paint 'em gloss black. Sanded them down myself, and painted them. I was extremely nervice first, but once it was done...WOW, I'm so glad I did it. They look awesome, and really stand out; Makes them much more noticeable. When they were yellow, they were nice, but you couldn't always tell they were there, but with them black, I don't know...maybe it's just me, but they look ten times better. Oh, and for another tip, sand off the paint on the metal grill part of it, It looks awesome with the black, and silver grill. The little holes look real and functional, because they're still black. Many people have asked me what I did, because they think I modified them for an intake or something. Anyway, paint them black, if you're at all thinking about it, it looks awesome. Oh, and yes, I do prefer to have the headlight pockets body color.

And on another small note, the car was painted yellow at Macco. '94 Ford Chrome yellow (The only good thing to come from a Mustang) I did all the body work myself, and honestly, it went well above my expectations. Nice and shiny, and holds well. They did a really good job. Especially for what I paid, $539. I had them spray it, and clear coat it. Now, if only I didn't drive it in the snow (plow effect, chipped paint off the front bumper...going to take it back in the spring and tell them it's chipping like crazy, I have a warrenty...lol) Well anyway, Paint them black. As soon as I get a dig. camera, I'll show you. You won't regret it.

Enough rambling from me...

 

im pretty sure im gonna do it now. i will hopefully find a set ay a junkyard close to paint those so i dont have to ruin my pearl ones. and if i feel like pearl ill juss change um back, visaversa. always good to have something that you can change back to.....no harm no foul. i was HOPING that it would maybe give it a sort of shaker hood apperance but well see gloss balck for me

 

Sorry it's so big, but they are painted black hood blisters.

 

i did it some time ago....and if you want to see a white car,

here's willie's car:

Hey! That's my car!!!!!!!!!:rockon:

When I took that hood off and went to my cowl hood, I removed the blisters and painted them black. I think in that picture they look like crap. The key is to get them painted glossy black and clear coat em. That's what I did and they look killer on my brothers Red Iroc. I'll see if I can get some pic's of it.

 

I like it...

I agree, paint them glossy black.. should look killer!
