Painted my hood liner

Hereâ€™s some before during and after photos... before picture isnâ€™t my actual car, but it looked very similar so using it for reference.

Took a few days off and on waiting for the paint to dry and about $20 in material. Iâ€™m no artist but I feel like it turned out decent

Good work. Will be interested to see how the paint holds up with underhood heat... but regardless, you did a good job with it. Looks brand new.

For the overall Black I used high temp flat black grill paint. For the logo I used the little testers model enamel paint.

Nice job! Dumb question, can't you just buy a hood liner with that logo already on it?

You sure can... and Iâ€™m sure theyâ€™d look a little nicer but theyâ€™re $$$$$

Looks good--What did you kind of glue or fasteners did you use?
