Anyone paint their hood liner?

[Killercanary]

My hood liner looks like crap and I was thinking of painting it, has anyone done this? If so, how did you do it and what kind of paint did you use? Any other ideas on maybe cleaning or something else to make it look good?

Take it off

I'd rather leave it on there but make it look "black" again.

Let's see a picture of what it looks like now, then we can make some suggestions.

Got me, I'm stumped. On one hand I would say, mask all around the area and just spray bomb it black. Although that sounds crude, it might be a good temporary fix.... Say you want to take some good pics of it.

On the other hand, I would say get a new liner.

Really, it's just dirt residue from over the years. I don't know if a shop vac would help get the dust and crap out of it or not. I would suggest if you try this to do it in an area that is in the back and not real noticeable, and see how it goes.

Let us know what you decide to do.

Would carpet die do it?

Paul I painted mine. Took it off and just resprayed it black. Didn't prime it or nothing. Two years later it looks brand new. The key is putting it on lightly.
