Default Jake skull underhood liner or graphic?

I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could find a vinyl or graphic for the underhood like the corvette emblem ones but with the Jake skull. If not I am going to have one made

I'd suggest you have someone airbrush it onto the hoodliner.

Check out Vette Stripes. They had a giveaway of some smaller Jake vinals. They also do custom items from pics you send in.

Default Jake

Try badboyvettes.com, they have them in yellow and black but they may not be large enough.

Someone is selling a 5 or 6" yellow or black jake. I put one on my hood inner liner. I'm not sure who it is. I'll do some searching and see what I come up with.

Airbrush may be your only option here. If you airbrush there are many things that you could do other than just a straight Jake. You might draw something up and have a local airbrush artist give you a quote on it.

Default JAKE on the hoodliner

Paint the entire hoodliner, front and back, with flat black rattle-can spray
Lay out your Jake with blue low-tack painters' tape
Spray the color of your choice (I wanted a subtle dark gray)

and . . . Voila ! .

That is awesome. Did you use high temp paint?

Yes, barbeque paint for the flat black, and engine enamel for the dark gray.

I am assuming that red caliper paint would work, wouldn't it.

Just a detail: I also painted the four plastic push-pins that go in the dark gray area with the same dark gray paint. I used Dupli-color adhesion promoter on them first to be sure the paint would stick.

That would be a great choice, in the spray cans. I would not want to brush such a large area with caliper paint.
