Hood glare on 379, thinking of painting it matt or flat black

I got 80% ceramic tint, but I gotta fix the a/c before it’s worth putting the tint on.

 

A little off topic but that stuff's (clear ceramic window tint) great to protect interior from UV damage. Had the clear installed on the windshield in my Ram and 5% on all the other windows when I bought it brand new. Just ripped and cleaned it off a few weeks ago. Plastic dash and everything inside the truck still looks like when it rolled off the dealer lot 20 years ago. I'm getting too old for dark windows though and loving be able to see while driving.

 

I had a bud that drove a long nose. He found these step strips, the kind you apply to a set of stairs for traction. He placed a series of 4 on each side of the hood to break up the glare. Had them on his truck for 1.1M miles til it couldn't pass inspection anymore. Never had a single complaint about them.

 

I used a can of flat black spray paint.

 

Not all sun reflections are bad…..

 

Nice catch, Jim.

 

Wish I knew how to make this new phone catch things like that. Not sure if it’s a smart phone or a smart ###….

 

Few years back Shooter2K had a white W9 similar to mine, few years newer I think. I sent him a picture similar to what I posted earlier, and he did something to really bring out the color then posted it on the 5 page.

Although the trucks were the same color and both were split windshield, there was one thing totally different, no one never caught it and thought it was his truck lol….
