Default Hoodliner Pics lets see them!

I have been thinking about doing some art work on my hoodliner.....simple or extreme not sure. Should I just paint the logo or go for the airbrush spectacular. Would love to see what you all have done before I make a decision....Thanks Tim

I painted mine having very little experience. It was fun.

Just a basic DIY project with Krylon rattle cans and Testors paint pens

Man those look great!

Has anyone found a way to protect the insulation after painting it? Maybe scotchbrite or mayve even a spray on clear coat? I drive my vette in the rain some times and wonder if this would help keep it nice after painting?

I sprayed mine with flat black paint and then clear coated over the top. Very easy to keep clean.

That's a good idea

I assume that the clear didn't make it look shiny at all? Do you think the clear helps keep the insulation from getting that worn look? I think I may have to airbrush mine. Gotta love the cheap and easy mods !

I drive mine in the rain also. The hoodliner has been painted for about 2 or 3 months. I have had no problems so far.

Wife painted mine while I was out of town on a business trip. She used Testor's paint pens, turned out pretty good.
