First, congrats on getting that hood for $100!
Second, flat black is one of the hardest paints to do, specially with a rattle can. You have to spray just the right amount. I'm pretty sure there isn't even a flat clear available in a spray can. If you have a paint gun, i know Dupont does make a finish coat for flat paint. Without a sealer, It will most likely start chipping and fading. You also can't put any cleaners/wax on flat black. If you get it done professionally, i say go for it; but I'd just get it painted to match your truck.

Awesome hood for 100 bucks.
If it was me i would take it and have it painted at a shop and still laugh all the way home because you will still be behind the eight ball for the money you will have into it.
