I purchased a very straight no rot hood for my 68. Only thing is it has lots of character. Really dont like the term patina. My only concern is if I paint it it wont match the overall truck. All I plan on doing is the wood in the bed. So my only options are to try and paint the hood really crappy. Dry no shine and hope it matches or just leave it be. The rust does match the color somewhat
