Well, I thought you painted it already... and I thought it looked good...
I think it depends on the look you want. Either you got the carbon fiber for show or weight. Either way it looks unique in an awesome way and you should make this thread a poll.
Just my thoughts...

I say either paint the whole hood back and leave the vent CF or paint the sides of the hood and leave the center of the hood CF kinda like a V shape just a thought to ponder
It kinda looks like this..this is an old PS of my car but obviously you wouldn"t have the CF come all the way down to the front bumper and the angels wouldn't be so drastic.

Hmm.....rainbow? hahaha
I'm gonna put a light black paint over the entire hood except for the vent and hump...you will be able to see the CF under the black paint but also look better against the jet black, but the CF in the vents and the hump will still pop...
I also did some other little things which I hope turns out well.
