if you have access, i would think up something unique. the whole middle of the hood painted, and 2 tone black and red is so played out. try to think up something different, that is actually unique to your car. that's my suggestion.

it's just that every 2 tone cobalt is black and red. he has the option to pretty much do whatever he wants. If it was me, i would go with 2 totally different colors. or even just make the cobalt one solid color that's different. i love dark grays. that's probably what I would do. a nice dark gray.

Since you don't wanna abuse the free paint job from your uncle than I wouldn't paint the hood. I'd paint the whole car flat black!! There's a member here I think his name is Steven flint or flit(not sure) but his car with that paint job is the sex. Flat black ftw!!!!
