Mmm,

I never caught on to the idea of having different coloured bonnets & boots.
It always reminds me of a taxi.

But hey what the hell do I know.

If it is painted then why not paint it the right colour?

I have had a carbon bonnet for nearly a year now and I am still undecided whether it should be painted or not, or even just have sections painted. Nearly all the people who have commented on it however say I should leave as is.

imo carbon will always look better against a colour where there is a greater contrast

Black bonnets look great if they are carbon, that red one's really nice! I don't see the point in just painting a standard bonnet black though.
