If you think you can get a good finish I'd go Mansbone, if you're not sure then leave it I reckon

My best mate who is lucky enough to paint the odd lambo or ferrari said its freraking near on impossible to get a good finish with fiberglass. Thats with top end panels, the very best paint and the very best guns! Which is why I am debating giving this some simple coats of the same black I have used for the trims/mirrors etc and maybe get a FG spoiler and do that too. Wishes for more power...

Hm ill be honest and say I dont think the black really works that well with the moonstone / looks a bit silly (if I can talk coming from man with green car and yellow wheels!!) however, id imagine painting a flexy bonnet could be fun, so not sure what to suggest really...wrap it?

Im RUBBISH with wrap...just ask sean when we tried to wrap the metal one! but what colour wrap? just black, "carbon"... my other thought, if I ever came to breaking it for parts...if its stays black, easy to shift...if I paint moonstone, no one will want it  see...my OTHER thought here...I am toying with strip down and repaint another colour this winter depending on if she stays or not..... in which case, I really cant be arsed to paint it!

Wrapping is easy! I'd do it for you if you were nearer. Lots of heat, lots of patience. Even I can do it without a single bubble.

Moonstone would be better, given its FG I'd probs just spray it with Montana cans though, they give a good finish on walls so they can probably manage fibreglass

My two cents. Either moonstone paint or a stainless steel wrap. They do all sorts of crazy wraps nowadays. Easy enough to use. Not a fan of the black.

Wrapping a bonnet is a piece of piss PROVIDING you are using good vinyl. Also, you want to do it in the same vinyl as Impotentials bonnet. Its amazing! lol

I can wrap it for you in about an hour.
Don't make the roof black. Looks cool but I couldn't touch the inside of mine on Friday - proper hot in that car, it's going white

Paint just adds weight And looks far more track left like that

ahhh man... indecision indecision!
I'm thinking wrapping now, as it can be peeled off if I don't like it etc... but WHAT colour then!? Wishes for more power...

We had our black temporary really not rally a fan of just a black bonnet reminds me of boy racers
Paint finish on our kevlar one, is not good at all really but standing a couple of feet away can't say I really notice the bad finish. Plus I prefer it color coded such a big panel of the car.

Might be a wild/expensive thought but could the new graphic design decal man on here 'print' moonstone vinyl?
