hood alignment

1058 Views 6 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Fred Mann
when I finally get around to fixing my radiator in the next couple weeks I plan to pull the hood and paint the underside of it. Any tricks of the trade for this? Is it a bi*** to realign it once it's done?

recommendations for paint? Can I just get a can of high-temp black engine compartment paint, tape it off and spray away? I'm not looking to turn heads with the underside of my hood, but I want it to look clean and last a long time.

I scribe the outline of the hinges onto the fiberglass before removing the bolts. This helps a bit, but there is play in the hinges, so it still requires some trial fitting. Probably easier to buy a big roll of plastic and cover the car.
