    I have a blank honda hood that I will be doing some paint stuff to.

    just wondering if anyone has any ideas for what I should paint.
    maybe something you've always wanted to see on a hood?
    (please be real with your ideas as this will be displayed at our shop.)

    Paint a bowl of rice on the hood... Say all black with a red bowl and some white grains of rice?? Seems cool in my head anyway..

    I don't know how detailed your painting is, but painting a picture of the engine that is in the car would be sort of funny. Or of course painting a SR20DET would bring the fast and furious ref lolz.. but only if it's overnighted from japan.

    If I were to ever get a EK hatch again I'd prolly go with black body with the rice bowl paint on the hood. Its cool imo.

    Another idea could be this guy

    If he wouldn't put it on a dodgeball shirt, I wouldn't expect it on a hood.


    I third the hamster.

    Paint it as a solid grid of car-battery tops.
    Then everyone will think it's a hybrid.

    I misread that as "black Honda hood" instead of "blank Honda hood" the first time, so I was thinking lightning always looks cool on black...

    But since anything goes...

    How about a simulated hardwood racing stripe, with bowling pins set up at one end, and a big ol' 8-ball with finger holes rolling towards them? Hey, it's original.

    If you're gonna go to all the work of painting an ENGINE on the hood, don't half-ass it--- paint THIS:

    If you're looking for something less elaborate (e.g. just stencil work, rather than airbrushing), can't go wrong with:
    - Autobots logo
    - Decepticons logo
    - Thundercats logo
    - Punisher logo
    - Spongebob Squarepants

    or a larger-than-life candy-chameleon "V-TEC"...

    Or even better: a single cartoonishly gigantic 9Volt Duracell with red/black leads running to the edges of the hood.

    Some of the more amusing hood ideas I've heard from a friend of mine as of late:
