Default Removing Hood Liner

Hey gang,

I want to remove my hood liner so I can clean it and paint it. Do I need any special tool? And what paint do you recommend? I'll probably either paint the logo or purchase one of those C5 hood liner decals. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It helps to have a forked trim removal tool.
I would get someone to airbrush your hood liner and avoid a decal..you will probably be disappointed.
Check some of the shops at the mall that customize T shirts. A couple of my friends got a local artist in one of those shops to paint them a custom liner with killer graphics for only about $40.

I sprayed mine with flat black paint and painted the emblem with model pens. Turned out great. There are some how-to's on the forum.
