Painted My Hood Liner...PICS

I started by using black krylon paint to kinda "seal" the liner so it didn't take so many coats of the colors to paint it. I then used little bottles that you would use for touch-ups with the brush and started painting. After I thought it had some good coats I let it dry then put a few coats of clear acrylic on it. I think it turned out pretty good and is only step 1 of making mine stand out from others.

What do ya think?

Thanks guys. This really wasn't hard at all and only took about a day (I used many coats lol). I'm happy with how it came out.

I bought the Mid America Decal and it fell off in a day. got my money back though and it is now affixed to my garage wall. So, no harm done. picks look good. Good job, but I doubt I'd take the time to do that.

I'm sure you're not finished, its a good start. Obviously needs more work, but a good start.

Did you do it with it on? Is it easy/possible to take it off? I'd like to paint mine when I get it. Since I don't have it, I'm assuming it's held on with plastic clips, if so, do they break when you take them off?

I just think it would KILL my arms to do it with it on.

Looks good!!!

Did you use pipedreams instructions?

A little touch-up and you'd be done!

You can use your fingers to pull them off, very easy, but its best with a second person so the liner doesn't get creased as you are removing it.
