I say give it a go and see, if you're worried about not liking it pick up a spare bonnet and black that one, bonnets go pretty cheap.

would just look like you've had an accident, put a replacement bonnet on and not had it painted tbh

my bonnet has had a poor respay, which looks more like matt than met black and it looks tat can wait to get it respayed. i think with your car not being black it would look even wose, i think someone has said it would look like you just got a bonnet and put it on after a accident.

I dont get this new fad of matt blacking stuff or rattle cans etc, it just looks like you've had an accident or have no clue how to spray properly. People like making their cars shiney for a reason :)

I used matt black on bodykit - looked way better when it was painted body colour!
