    Trying anyway. I really like dubs idea too. I did have some bleading of the lines and it would solve that quick and easy.

    Looks good. From the photo it looks like you matched it pretty well. How are you going to re-do it? Just sand it all off? Did you remove the hood insert to paint it?

    I think I will have to sand it down to get all the shiny paint back off, im worried it will happen again if i leave it. Yea, I never put the underhood heat/noise stuff back on so it unbolts easy. I will definately take my time next time bacause its obvious that it was rattle canned..

    I need better tape, an area that has some ventalation and no dog hair (got some painted in there) and better paint to redo.

    KUDOS for doing a good job with the paint scheme.

    It's not exactly my 'cup o tea' but I'm glad you're getting the look you like.

    BTW, let me help you out (since I seem to be the only one not on board with this)

    Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

    De Nada.

    Hey if you get all compliments & no criticism, that means SOMEONE is lying.

    Honestly, it does look good ... for you.

    You're doing good work & it's coming out nicely from what I can see in the pic. With my lack of artistic ability, the circle would ... well it wouldn't.
