You are supposed to prime it with flat black first. Paint won't soak in then.

Did mine by hand as well. It came out kinda ghetto looking.
I wasn't too worried since I'm springing for a new underhood cover pretty soon and then taking it in for some custom airbrushing.

I painted mine with flat black paint first. I've heard rumors of it soaking up paint all day long, so I did 8 coats of flat black. I then used painters pens from Michaels Craft Store. I took my time, and it looks great. I get a lot of compliments on it. There is a big difference between it being painted and a sticker. I had a sticker that fell off several times, so thats why I painted it. Paint looks better anyways. Good luck.

I painted my last hood liner and it looked great, bought a new liner just because I could, thought the decal would look better. Yes it looked great unfortunely, it looked great resting on my intake manifold.

Could you please post some good pictures of the hood liner and a close up or two of your work?Thanks.
