When you say "base flat back" are you putting a surface to be able to paint onto that exceeds outside of the C5 emblem? Or are you putting a base coat down that follows the C5 emblem?
Thanks

I just sprayed the area of the emblem, not the whole liner, overspray the area some, you will never see it, the material sucks up paint, I sprayed about 6 heavy coats, just to keep from sucking up the color coats.

Not a Hijack at all, it's relavent to doing the mod!

I just sprayed mine down with a garden hose and it took all the crap and staining off then I promptly installed 25 HP+ Performance Hood Seal. I used Lead free paint Paint Pens and I'm pretty sure I'm kicking near 375 HP to the wheels!
