If mine looked that good under the hood I would drive around with the hood up all the time just so I could see it.....

Those are amazing. Now how about some opinions and assistance. I have 3 vettes to get done (as each chooses of course) so my questions are:

1. Paint the hood liner or remove it and do under the hood itself?

and

2. Anyone close to NE PA that can be trusted. Our body man does not do airbrushing and his contact seems to be unreliable---so any suggestions would be a great help. You can never have too many options
