There's that big ol' insulation matting on the underside of the hood used to deaden sound and heat the engine up faster... there's also a giant chevy logo on that matting, and I'd like to paint it.
Only part is I have no idea what I should use to do so. Anyone have any ideas?

I thought it was a fire mat designed to smother the engine if there was a fire :/ Heat up the engine faster?? I dont think it does that. But yea about the painting... I saw this on like 2 other cars on this board, one looked real good, the other one was fading. I'm sure you need to use some high temp paint, or at least a high temp clear coat

Everyone tells me something different, it could be for all those reasons. Refer to this post:
i like when the old muscle cars at car-shows have the underside of the hood as one big mirror. but i like the idea of painting the logos on the insulation thing too [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
They talk about what the matting is used for.. but anwyay, model paint huh? How long have you had it on your matting? Has it faded at all?<hr></blockquote>
It has been about a year and a half, no fading. That pic was about after a year.
Check over on the Corvette forum (www.covetteforum.com). They have been painting the underhood liners for a long time.

Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...
