Owen Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I plan to do the other side this weekend, hopefully it will be fine! Then I'll sand down the damaged side and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I revisited this thread. Sorry about your paint, that sucks for sure. Like I said before I am vent interested in these. The blocked off vent is not an issue if it makes it easier to mold. Keep me posted as to if and when they are available. I'm about halfway through my LT1 engine swap, my hood is off so the time is right and these would add so much to the look of my car.

Owen Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Here's the damage... If this other side comes out good, I'll have to sand down the above and have another go. Then sand down the entire hood and repaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Wow, what did you use for a mold release? Looks like it just bonded to the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did bond with the paint, not even the liquid paint stripper I have from Home Depot is this strong! I used a mold release wax, specifically made for these jobs. But the gelcoat still ate thru...This next side has more than double the coats of wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
