Under hood/Fabric Removal

Ok so I removed the fabric under my hood today and cut my middle finger on it. Damn that edge was surprisingly sharp. So when I removed it the underside was not completely painted and looks like ass. I don't want to show up Sunday with the underside of my hood looking like this.







Anybody got suggestions were I could find a similar blue? Don't want to pay the body shop to paint it. Was thinkin maybe putting a mopar emblem or something under it. Also did you hide your winshield washer hose?

Joey might know....he's good at painting.

You have been doing so much lately your car is gonna look completely different! LOL

Yeah I have got the mod bug bad!

Just don't get the "Bad Mod Bug"...or you'll find yourself upbadging and sticking on fake hood scoops.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

But to cover it up a big piece of vinyl might do it. If you need a name of a shop let me know I can PM it to you, its prolly about 45 mins south of you but they do good work and quick.

Hell no I hate shit like that. It has to serve a purpose not just to make me look "cool". There is another magnum on base that is the same color as me but has old english writing and fender vents on it. Ruined the car and he gives me looks like my ride is shit compared to his.

isnt taking that off going to cause your paint to fade? anyone know, i was curious about this...

I'd put it back on. It reduces noise from the engine compartment.

I have had mine off about a year...

Yeah well putting it back on will be a problem since I didn't exactly peel it of easy ripped in a couple spots.

Oh

Yeah I would have put it back cause it looks horrible without it but my lack of grace didn't allow me.

Called Libertyville Dodge and they have a can of the midnight blue spray paint in stock. I will pick it up this afternoon and fix the underside if the hood.

There you go bro... perfect...

Actually for anyone here Advanced Auto carries most Mopar paint. I was surprise that they carry both spray cans and nail polish bottles of Inferno Red. Perfect for color matching or paint chips.

Midnight blue was not on their shelves yesterday. I'm thinking that i will have to remove the hood to do a good job. What do you think?

Nah you could get away with parking it in your garage and taping off the engine compartment and being careful.

Ok I was thinking that I could do that would make it easier to get done today

Thats the way to go, it will take 10 minutes to take the hood off vs about an hr to tape off the engine. I would tape of the finished side of the hood though to protect from overspray.

Taking it off will be a two man job correct?

i have done mine by myself... but its not easy...

Hmm missing paint makes me want to check mine.

Got the can and going to the auto shop in my neighborhood to have some guys help me with the hood. Pics to follow

Debs factory hood is the same... BB and missing paint in the middle under the hood...

Well it is "done". I'm not thrilled with the result not a master painter but looks better now. Pics when I get back after picking up my preadator.
