Making Lemonade out of Lemons

so... yesterday i manage to slide my car under a Taxi cab, ruining my hood.

so i was trying to think on the bright side of things.
the chances of finding a wagon hood in white is slim to none (and i think there is one locally here that is bronze)
so i was thinking of just painting it Matte black for the time being, as i have no money to have it done professionally. then getting some vinyl squares and making a checkerboard pattern with pin striping to get kind of a plaid look.
here is the chop i came up with.

I like it
I loved my design. Kids would actually copy it when they drew the car.
oops. spillage.
the hood only looks bent to the trained eye, my sister still cant see where it was hit :roll:
looks like i will be keeping this hood after all, and just having it repaired over the summer professionally. nothing a hood bra cant conceal for the time being
lol, reality can be a bit boring sometimes, would like to have seen it done up like his original idea.
