Hood question?
I took my hood liner off the other day, and it looks like crap, its starting to fade and the lining is coming off, i like the look of it off, but there are a few places that hasn't been painted from factory, i tried to find a rattle can of Dupli color in electron blue and can't seem to find it, do they still make the electron blue paint? if not what would be the closest match to it? What should i do, refurnish the hood lining, or leave it off and paint the colorless areas of the hood. Thanks

I would refurb the hood liner unless it is badly torn. Here is a Form DIY on doing just that:

I gave the link to a local buddy and he did his and added some color paint to the C5 logo and it looks great..........

New hoodliners from a dealer should only cost about $150 or so. Repainting the underside of the hood will be a lot more than that and trying to paint it with a rattle can may not yield the results you want.
