Cleaning Underhood blackliner

Hood Blanket
I'm doing the same thing right now. Have to be real careful taking it off - the liner tears real easy, especially around the holes.
I thought if I washed it with soap and water it would clean it. It didn't, though it took four days to dry.
I sprayed it with flat black heat resistant spray paint.
I started painting the letters with the same color as the car but am not having too good of luck. Using regular paint it doesn't go on smooth and soaks in a lot. Plus I'm not a good painter and get the edges too straight. Was going to try spray-painting with an air-brush but ran out of propellent. If you have a better idea let me know.
Anyway, after the painting I'm told spray Scotchguard on it to keep water from soaking in.

I thought about doing this as well, but my liner was in crappy shape... so I just took it off 
I'm going to get the underside of my hood prepped and painted one of these days.

Thats what I did. Sprayed it black with clearcoat and a chrome Cobra decal. Looks great IMHO
