What color hood vents? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Lutatt2 · 06-26-2018, 10:00 PM

Been meaning to paint these hood vents earlier but can’t decide what color. It’s the vis ams hood. Originally the vents were black but then somehow faded/wore off into a goldish color now. Should I paint them black, or silver, or keep them gold? Lol. Any other suggestions is greatly appreciated also

Thanks fellas!

I've been thinking about adding hood vents, the one thing I do know is that if I do, they will be Carbon Fiber or hydro dipped Carbon Fiber to compliment my CF stripes. Looking at the color scheme on your car, I would suggest getting them CF hydro dipped, I think it would compliment your overall scheme.

Less is more, don't be obnoxiousness.

Interesting! Never thought of that option

Silver. ....silver is more pronounced

Thats a very nice hood, how long have you had it? Who did you go through to purchase it or what brand is it. I want one but i'm not too sure which company is a good company for the hood. i've seen some turn color after a few years.

It’s the ViS ams hood ordered from ViS online. I’ve had it for about one year and you’re right it does change colors after a a while. Mine has started to slowly turn yellow. It’s said to be from the sun, and also not having a proper clear coat on the hood. The manufacturers only put a gel coat on it which in time turns a yellowish color from the suns uv. But I’ve been told the easy fix to this would be to get it sanded down and re clear coated. I’m actually going to a paint shop this week to look more into it and hopefully get it down as soon as possible
