Yep & I like the old way of every car gets black under the hood, regardless of car color. Then no matter what color your car gets painted now or 10 years from now...The underhood is look good & not a mismatch.

Actually I meant more about getting the underhood painted, not necessarily the whole car, but up to you of course.

Do it! Better than ripping it back out to do it later!
