Someone posted a while ago on this site that they custom paint the insulation with a bunch of different pics. It might be worth trying the search tab and trying that.

Hi
It will also insulate the hood and its paint from heat.
I saw paint blisters on hoods because of car shows hood open and the sun shining on the chrome air intake filter and back up onto the underside of the hood burning it in one spot .
The insulation material is very thin, that's why it takes the form of the hood so perfectly . I got it as well, but haven't installed it yet.
Will be done this winter.

RE: Underside of Your Hood
Hey, that's lookin' pretty nice & clean. BTW .... Since we're on the Subject of what's on the Underside of your Show Car Hood. I've got a '72 & it never came with hood insulation. Soooooo ..... Here's what's on the underside of my Stock Hood !

Ipurchased one of these some time back and finally installed it, I opted not to use the decal at the last minute but the rest of it is just awesome, it makes the underside of the hood look tons better.
I have unfortunately got one little bubble that I have to fix
