i just got my goodmark cowl hood,(very impressed with the quality and packaging for shipping) i want to get it painted so ive called around and heard 200-250$ for painting it, my truck is silver birch, and 2 of the 3 shops i called said you have to paint it on the truck to match and the fenders have to blended in also. i can see what there saying but do you guys think i really need to do this, or just have the hood painted by it self? :duh:
Personally I would rather have a shade mismatch than blending paint on the fenders.
yeah, i dont think it will be noticable that much espesially to the ave joe. :yawn:Quote:

the silver shades are especially hard to match. You'll notice! I'd recommend doing it on the truck and letting them blend it. My best friend is a master PPG tech and he'd tell you the same.
just my $.02
:imwstupid: I agree with stssilverado. I've done some painting on a few trucks and silver is by FAR the hardest color to match. I noticed a slight difference just by a variance in the amount of thinner I used (even though the paint came from the same gallon). Go with the blend, you'll be much happier. :thumb:Quote:

well im sold on the blend, thanks for your input! :thumb:thanks for the opinion sts silverado, it looks like you know about silver birch matching
That's a damn good price for painting a hood and blending.
i had a fender painted without blending on one of my old trucks....definately let them blend it!
that price was for just the hood, about 470 total to paint hood and blend . ouch!! :bs:
Did he at least kiss you first? :laugh: I usually get a little kiss when I get effed.
