    I just picked up a steal of a deal. I bought a near perfect comet GT hood with no rust for 75$. My question is that they painted the black stripes on the middle of the hood. I thought the GT's were supposed to have a decal.

    Huh? What years were painted? I would have to get mine out of storage to look, but I don't think mine has either. The hood and scoop/car are factory color/paint.

    All the ones I have seen have a decal. My stripes are/were decals...

    My 72 has a decal. But the scoop is black also. Every pic I see for advertising has the scoop body color. Mine must have been painted black at some time.

    This isnt helping much guys. I wanted to make mine all factory original. Is it safe to say that the originals were decals, that are no longer being reproduced?

    All Comet GT's came from the factory with the hood stripe painted satin black. The hood scoop should be painted body color.
