I'm guessing that you removed the hood liner to paint it?

Yes, it was very easy. Just remove the tabs holding it in place. I took off the bottom ones, then top ones, and middle ones last. I used a screwdriver to get underneath them and loosen them up and then just pulled them off with my hands. Took like 5 minutes. Get a partner to help you hold it up and lift it off at the end so you dont bend and crease the liner.
