[QUOTE="BLK03SVT10TH, post: 4765398, member: 13915"] After doing a pretty good job on my original Hood Blanket on my 2003 10th Anniversary, I decided to try do an even cleaner job on my 2004 Mystichrome by 3M ScotchGarding the Hood Blanket first to try to add some Water Proofing/Stain Resistance and then Paint it for even more protection. Only time will tell how effective this is going to be at keeping the Hood Blanket in good condition. Here are the pics for anyone who wants to do a clean Hood Blanket Mod. Mark the back side of the Hood Blanket following the creases and rounding the corners as much as possible.
