I did the same to mine a few years ago after trying it in photoshop. Enhances the lines nicely. Not OTT, all over the car and only works with some colours.

Re: getting bonnet painted
I thought about removing it...
But it get's pretty HOT under the V6 bonnet, so I decided to leave it there...
But I certainly have to Polish up around it...

that would be a reason for taking it off, its just a blanket which will keep the heat in

Re: getting bonnet painted
It's actually sound deadIng, and vibration damping nothing to do with heat retention....why would you want to keep heat in when hot air causes all kinds of problems under the hood
