Paint it FLAT black and it wouldn't be so bad.

Plus, being black, and I HOPE flat-black on the hood, keeps hood glare 
out of your eyes... something I've never had to deal with since I've 
started driving Scouts.. even when clean, my hoods have been so oxidized 
they don't shine anyhow... and they look so much better with a good 
healthy coat of dirt on 'em that I often don't wash 'em!
