Default Painted Hood Liner (pic)
I gave it a shot and it came out good, the picture does not do it justice (the flash caused the silver to look uneven). Used mainly paints I had around and paint pens. The liner soaks up allot of paint before you cover the black. No bad for $20

Great work! Looks really good, tempting me to get some paints and try it myself!

It took about 4hrs, mainly because the paint need to dry between coats. I think a new liner in not that much so you can always replace it or paint the extra one first. The paint pen really gives you the fine control needed to get clean edges. I tried to stay true to the real emblem and even made the smaller part of the red flag a shade darker as it is on the factory emblem. I will take some pics in the sunlight tomorrow so you can see the true results.

Nice ... Benn debating whether or not to do that myself. Just trying to figure out what kind of paint to use.

Looks good, but how will the paint stand up to the engine heat?
