Are you looking for a gloss or a matte black? if just a matte you can get yourself some plasti dip and do it yourself. Much cheaper than taking it to a paint shop or buying a new hood. And if you get tired of the look you can just peel it off.
+1 ^^^ This ^^^

Plasti-dip is quick and easy, and you can even put a couple of coats of Glossifier on it if you want a satin look. As rberns said, "if you get tired of the look you can just peel it off" with no damage to the original paint.

Don't spend the money to have it painted before you try this. It'll cost you $15 for the dip and glossifier and you can do it in a couple of hours.
