Same color as the car only with a matte finish for a little less detailing work...

I think this one falls into "if loving that is wrong, I don't wanna be right."

Not the best picture to show it, but I went with gloss body color on the inner hood reinforcement and pigmented bedliner on the back side of the hood skin where exposed. Also sprayed pigmented bedliner under car and wheel wells. Looks nice and adds protection, particularly to the underside of fenders.
