Painted and installed the Border Racing Vent Hood
 
Painted and installed the Border Racing Vent Hood.

I picked up a used Border Racing hood that been painted gunmetal a few weeks ago.

My car is getting an full paint job by a pro shortly and so I took the time to try to learn to paint. and I wanted to get a preview oh how the vent would look. I painted the hood the same green as my Infini and painted the inlay area of the air vent black. Its kinda hard to see in the pictures, but its easy to see in person.

We mixed up some paint and it color matched with no problems.

Great looking car! Question for you, what rear skirts do you have on your car? They look very nice and flow well with the car and the stock look.

whats wrong with it? looks fine to me. your hood job looks very clean and the rest of the car is fairly good.

87GTR 11-13-06 06:39 PM

you need to see in person. the hood has a few low spots you can see that filled and sanded. This was just a test. this weekend im dropping the hood off at his shop, they want to get started on it. also the FEED lip, side skirts, and spare rear bumper I have then in 2 weeks I should drop the whole car off and they will paint it all together.
