Im lookin to get a cowl induction hood for my 1999 dodge dakota, and had some questions for the body guys. My truck is like the purple color, and its not faded anywere, but will it look bad with a freshly painted hood, and the rest old paint? Will it match perfectly as long as the paint codes match?? (given i will have the best body man in my area paint it). Excuse me if this a stupid question LOL i have no experience with paint.
Color matching??

There's no need to blend the fenders and yes your hood will look freshly painted and the fenders will look like they do now. The color will match but the shine of the hood will be much better. Now while its being painted, the shop can buff the fenders and get them to look much better as well so that you really won't notice the difference. Having them blend the fenders will be dumb and decrease the value of your truck and yes you can tell where paintwork has been done (including blends). I wouldn't worry much about it since the clear on the hood will get scratched and swirled like your factory paint in just a few months of being washed/waxed and from mother nature.

Uhhh WHAT? How is blending the fenders going to decrease the value of your truck? Would you rather have a hood that doesn't match? The only way you're going to be able to tell if it was painted is if it wasn't done right.
