THINKING ABOUT PAINTING HOOD INSERT WHITE

I have been thinking lately of maybe this winter while the car is in storage here in Wisconsin of painting my Hood Insert white. Kind of a little throw back to the old Orange and White but with a twist. Attached is a picture I edited. What do you all think??

Not a fan, but it's your car so do what makes you happy. If you decide to do it, I would wrap it that way it's always reversible.

If its "carbon fiber" just wrap it. I'd wrap it regardless, vs paint.

A shade of silver or light grey would be more subtle and better compliment the wheels as well as the orange.

From a design perspective, it will look terrible if there's no other white on the car to tie it together. Definitely don't paint it - as others have said - get it vinyl wrapped and see how you like it. That way when you don't like it since it will look out of place, you can undo it.
