[QUOTE="Black 03 Z06, post: 76735, member: 1852"] Graham, interesting that you posted this up. Last fall when trying to clean up my very dirty car from Stan's Weber's Cruise I washed the hood liner. I was dismayed when opening the hood last week to see that the pad was blotchy. White marks here and there. I saw on another site that other folks have had the same issues. They take the liner off by carefully removing the round plastic fasteners with a flat pry bar with a fork in it (nail remover style). The top ones come off first then bottom leaving the one in the centre to come off last. It strikes me that this would be a job for a few extra hands. The liner is fragile. Once off it is cleaned carefully with a soft brush laid on a flat surface then painted with rattle can flat back or grey if that is what is desired. Apparently several coats are required. Some people have then used Tamiya Paint Pens to actually draw in the Corvette symbol that is embossed into the liner. Suggestion was to put a few extra coats of paint where the symbol is to stop paint from just sinking in. It looked pretty good on the examples shown. Steady hands but nice work. Just a suggestion that might work for you. [/QUOTE]
