barnett468 418 Report post Posted February 20, 2017 I was present when my hood was re-painted, with the original paint, many years ago. It went on wet looking like a purplish blue color. I expressed some concern to the painter and he just laughed saying, "wait and see". Sure enough, looked awesome when he was done. Barnett, that paint is still on my hood and it looks as black as any black I've ever seen. Color perception is an interesting thing! yup, blue purple but definitely looks black after a few coats . it is also slightly iridescent . very, odd .

ralt962 11 Report post Posted July 17, 2018 I had an original a crunched original 69 Mach 1 hood that had been tucked away at a dealership since 79. So it was original and not faded. I had my paint shop duplicate the pattern and color from that hood on to mine. Mine was a mess that was changed over the years along with cutting a hole in the hood....nice. If it would help I can post a pic of my hood, scoop and grille. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mustangs Are Neat 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2020 Hi everyone - Anyone else got a good picture to share? I am about to have my 69 fastback M-code painted and have been debating low gloss versus high gloss for the blacked out hood and cowl. I am going a dark gray and a little worried the flat black will be too much on the more modern gray color. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
