    this might help a little...



    The gray area around the perimeter is sanded all the way down to the factory primer
    The white smaller areas are sanded all the way down to the substrate
    The black areas are the orig finish, just scuffed (mistake)
    Unfortunately, I just stuck the scoop on with double stick tape before I blended the hood scoop in with body filler (another mistake)

    I hope to have time to take a "do-over" this summer.

    def remove the old stuff before you paint....it's like thick shelf paper...sort of. Get all around the edges real well and all. It's gonna peel otherwise,,,,,,promise

    Ever think about covering it in the vinyl that they use to wrap vehicles?

    Just a thought.
