Default superwrap, plastidip gloss black hood

Has anyone used superwrap or plastidip gloss black on body panels? I have an extra hood that has good structure no damage compared to my 99 that had some the top panel splitting from the bottom main structure. Im not sure if the red is the same the 00 hood in good shape was repainted i think a darker red maybe torch red which would match okay but ive seen people paint targa tops on youtube and roof panels flat or gloss black. Someone obviously did this rear bumper mode which looks to be flat black plastidip or is there other brands of this type of material. The only two ive heard of are plastidip and superwrap but when i spoke to superwrap they recommended it only for wheels, mirrors, accessories as the aerosol can dispenses and the paint may not come out even on a body panel.
Does this convertible 00 hood appear to be the same red as my 99 corvette? The hood is in better shape no structure damage. I want to directly swap it to my 99 which has a broken top corner and the top panel began seperating at the front side. This 00 convertible appears to have been repainted as hood side weatherstrip seals at the fenders have red paint on them but theres no telling if its a factory repaint red or different color red. The 00 bumper is in worse shape but needs minor epoxy repair and it can be used on the 02 project car with fenders. Have another torch red factory hood great condition that cost 100$ locally that can be used on the 02 auto torch red car that has every panel doors,targa and back just not the fenders, front bumper which go from the 00 to the 02.

Does anyone know what front wheels these are they are 20" dual bolt pattern and a 245 tire that fits well im guessing close to a 20x8.5" or 20"x8"
