I have a question for you, or anyone else who might care to speak up;

What is the way that hoods were painted originally?

I seem to often see paint being applied to the top of the hood, with the bottom masked off;
But I would think that paint would have been applied to the top and edges, with overspray observed on the underside.

If I am guessing correct, this picture shows that the top was painted, and the hood is upside down about to be masked for the edges to be painted.



looks great!!

This is inspiring for people like me.

Thanks. Our buddy has been helping some also when his shop is slow. Im not sure the technique from factory. In this case the blue you see is tinted primer on the top side. The hood was flipped, taped and painted rally black. Next it will be sprayed on the top and outside edges in topcoat.
