Default Painted hood liner

Finally finished...well it did take two nights and yes I am impatient. Despite coating it with flat black, it still sucked up the paint, especially the white.[IMG][/IMG]

Can't wait till my wife gets home to help me reinstall it. Here's a closer look[IMG][/IMG]

do you paint the whole thing, or just the lettering, and what kind of paint did you use, and what kind of prep.
