Repainting my car and am painting the underside of the hood black (car is red 88 SE NA). My hood liner is in pretty bad shape. It was victim of a PD fire. I was able to put it out pretty quick, but the coating on the liner is burned off most of it. (pic attached).

I've seen much debate on whether it's needed, so don't want to get that started again. I've decided to either find a way to re-coat it with something, or leave it off. Anyone ever tried to "repair" a hoodliner by spraying something over it? I thought about a light coating of bedliner or something, but need to check the temp rating of the material.

Thoughts??

 

use this ****

or you can use VHT sperex under the hood

 

buy new, worth every penny

and in regard to if you need it or not, I think it gives it a finishing touch

Where'd you purchase? Looks nice.

 

I've ripped them out of my 7's right away. No issues.

 

looks good without too

 

its dumb to not have one because it burns the paint.

 

you buy it from your local dealership

 

I took mine out.
