[QUOTE="NightEnforcer, post: 618128, member: 8865"] I have painted the letters on three Cobras and the horse on one GT. They have turned out fantastic. The trick is to use a top quality angle brush for cutting in the edges. Because the hood liner is made of a material, material paint is best. Can be purchased at Michael's or other craft stores. Buy the best. It will typicaly take two to three coats to cover the gray/black material. If you want the hood liner to be water resistent, spray it down with a material waterproofing spray like that used for camping equipment, or Scotchguard. I use two coats on the liners I do. I apply extra to the edge where the opening for the louver is. Do the waterproofing after you have done the letters or the paint will not adhere. Take your time. Let each coat of waterproofing dry before applying the next coat. The water beads up on the material after this treatment. Keeps the hood liner looking brand new. I think recoating the wterproofing in 8-12 months would keep it sharp. [/QUOTE]
