    Demon Hood Blackout paint

    I like SEM's hot rod black! It comes in a kit w/ one quart of single stage paint, 1/2 pint of reducer, and a 1/2 pint of hardener.. It's really is good stuff, i actually sell it at work and it's only about $80 for the kit and that should be more than enough to do your hood!
