Default After market hood design suggestions?

I bought a new aftermarket hood for my 2nd gen Dodge Ram 1500 and I wanted to get it painted but I don't have a grand to shell out to get it done , so I was thinking about getting it wrapped and I was wondering if anyone out there can help me find a company that sells vinyl wrap that matches my truck's original paint Forest green Pearl coat ( PG8 ) .. I you have any suggestions of a color or custom design I am open to that also .. Thank you !

I purchased the hood from Amerihood a company out of California..

How does that hood fit I want that one and am going to order it.

As for your vinyl idea it's near impossible to find the exact color. I called a big vinyl place to match the color of my truck and they said they don't do that. Maybe wrap it in flat black like the old muscle cars did.

Try going to a few shops and get pricing, A grand to spray a hood is crazy.

It fits perfect!! I didn't have to make any adjustments I attached new hood hinges on each side bolted them down and that was it.. The hood costed me 780.00 bucks shipping included ... I got it within a week and a half from Cali to illinois..

Why not just paint it yourself??? I think if you are going with flat black, even a rattle can job would look decent.
