Default sticker bomb?

so i have an A4 and my hood was painted by the PO and it looks like ****..so i was thinking of just sticker bombing the whole hood to cover up the faded, cheap autozone paint job, and save a lot of money from getting it repainted and such. Thoughts on sticker bombed hood? ...also my car is black if that helps

Personally I think it would look beyond terrible, but it's your car so do what you want with it. If you want to do something that's not painting you could always do a vinyl carbon fiber wrap, or plasti dip it. Either option would look 10000% better then a bunch of stickers

If you're looking for a cheap alternative to a respray, think about vinyl wrapping it. You can get large sheets of vinyl in faux carbon fiber or brushed aluminum or whatever you'd like for under $100 and it would look much better than stickers. Sticker bombing is a little too JDM for me.

eh i would rather not go with carbon fiber wrap...if i was going for a CF i would just blow 800 on an invader CF hood ...(just kidding) but yeah i think ill just do the prep work myself and take it to a shop and have them repaint it

hmm...now theres an idea i was planning to repaint my valences this week. But yeah i will just strip down the hood..attempt a decent paint job i have the spray guns and such so it may look better than a rattle can job. WOrst case i just go get it professionally done andwasted $50 bucks and some labor hours
