well as many of you know i have a custom painted hoodliner







this is really a very simple thing to do, it took me about 4 hours total.



take the hoodliner off, its held on by 3 approx 2in diameter pop in place fasteners. be careful removing them adn you can re use them.



first i started off by taking a picture of my gtp badge and separating the letters and blowing them up to be as big as they could to fit on a 8.5x11 sheet of paper.



then i taped them all together.



spray your hoodliner with flat black spreaypaint, DO NOT try to wash it, it will soak up the paint just fine and will go to black, if you wash it it will take days to dry out.



then, using the tape of you choice, tape down the GTP stencil (or stencil of your choice), all around all of the edges and taping off everything you dont want color on. i had a half can of vht red caliper paint left, this was enough for me.



i discovered that if you put the pain on thick, the headliner soaked it up and went back to black, so i put in on in very light coats, almost overspray, and it started to get darker.



let dry and youre done, place the hoodliner pins back into the holes and enjoy!

if you dont want it you can "rip" it off, but if you want to keep it, you can pop the little fasteners out and take it down.

Thanks, Kyle! Here's my "version" following your writeup...



I started by using BBQ black, and then followed up for the logo with Krylon Banner Red (reg paint) and misted it, but that wasn't working after like 10 mist coats... so I reread your tut and went to caliper paint... which worked WAY better. LOL. Masked off the "star" in the middle of the arrowhead the next day and used a Testor's paint pen in silver for that.

Thanks again!

That's awesome arrowhead. I wish I don't have that ugly cross on hood cover that would make arrowhead not straight for sure.
