Paula is the resident forum hoodliner person - if you look down towards the bottom of the list of vendors in the left nav frame you will find her web link.

I used two cans of quality spray-paint on the liner. Helps a lot to make it a better surface to paint.

Good luck

Hi. I used hi-temp flat black BBQ grill paint in a spray can. Did 2 coats entire liner. Then finished off can on C5 emblem. I used fabric paint on mine rite out of the bottle. Some people have used glass paint. Both from fabric or hobie shop. I have not tryed air brush. Its a little like painting a sponge. Just take your time and you'll like it when your done. Took about a week to do mine- a little here and there allowing to dry in between.

Default Question

I have sprayed the flat black over the hood liner and coated the C-5 emblem numerous times. The red and white are soaking in verry badly. Is there anything else I can do besides give it more coats of red and white they now have around 6 coats and are still not bright.

Thanks,
Bob
