Advice Before I Have My Fiberglass Hood Painted

[Les Paul]

I'm taking my car to the dealer in a week or two to have my new Cervini Cobra R hood painted to match my car. After visiting several different body shops (morons to say the least) I have decided that the dealer is going to give me the best deal. I am also having the dealer paint the front bumper because of rock chips.

So is there anything I need to tell them to make sure they do it right? I know about the baking that has to be done but I just feel if I don't tell them everything, they will screw something up. I ask because one of the body shop owneres loooked at the hood and noticed some of the imperfections and wanted to know if I wanted the hood to come out perfect.

Thanks!

Paul

make sure their prep work is good. You can be using the best paint in the world, but if the surface is crappy, it will look like crap.

Make sure you drive the car with the hood on for 2 or 3 weeks. If you dont do that it wont matter how good the prep work is it will look like waves in the ocean.
