re-painted hood

[jdmjunky]

aight so...when i bought my car from jdmchristian991 for some reason he had painted the hood flat black



i never could understand why but that's beside the point ...anyway i got tired of the way it looked and decided to paint it again. i kept it black but it looks way better now. i sanded it down, primered it, sprayed it with black duplicolor, then put clear top coat on it...here's some pics of it now







let me know what ya'll think

the last owner of my car painted the hood black too. then some prick tagged my hood with like home made krink ink and was super hard to get off so i just painted over it with black. mines sucks. i wonder how much a new hood cost

it all depends on where you look...i found one on craigslist.org but it got sold out from under me...you can find one online or at a junk yard for pretty cheap.

I cannot find one at a junkyard that is not in any better condition than mine is. Maybe you have better luck!! LOL

Hey, no offense but it looks really bad.

You can get way better results with spray paint in can.

I suggest practicing on something else and then trying to repaint the hood again.

You should be able to get it to look almost identical to a quality factory paintjob.

Also it looks dented to me, I would fix the dents first, it will look 10x better.

Forgot to say, you need to take the hood off OR mask tape the whole car when spray painting. I bet you have spray paint all over your windshield.

Take some pics after its completely dried.

Also kinda looks like you were spraying a little too close.

Wowzers. Did you try to paint it flat black again with clear coat or something? Theres only like 4 bolts holding the hood on. I'd take it off next time before trying to paint..

U can still the pattern line across the hood from the rattle can, the hood still looks the same to me, u said u used dupli color, with the fan spray pattern?

I use it all the time and no lines show, I like the primered look.
