Very nice. How many coats of black did you use on the liner before painting the other colors?

Got to love that yellow.

I didn't use any black on the hoodliner, I used multiple coats of each color with some drying time in between them. Each color took about six coats.

What a shame you have to close the hood to drive. I see lots of pride, skill, attention to detail and love in your work.
