Bought a 3" cowl Harwood hood last fall, tried to paint it and my old compressor must have injested some oil, silicone, who knows, but even with two water separaters (one at compressor, one at gun) new hose, everything I cold think of, I was getting a million fisheyes. Got pissed and hung it out of the way for the winter.
Bought myself a new 60gal compressor.
Sanded down the hood and repainted it. A few dust boogers, but nothing terrible.
I wanted white stripes on my black car, so I painted the hood, and plan on putting vinyl on the trunk lid and spoiler. I wanted the stripes separated a little more than the typical Rally stripes, and I like 'em big.
That way i can go back to stock if I sell it some day.
Can't wait for the wife to get home so we can hold it up while our boy puts the bolts in.
Will post more pics after it's on.
