I think it only looks nice on certain colors, unfortunately that red is not one of them. But you know, its really up to you and what you like best.

if you are rattle canning it, black wont show the paint lines as much. do you want flat black or gloss black? a black hood wont really make sense on your car but i think it would look better than faded red with black at the end of the hood bulge
