car 24 #1 Posted December 14, 2015 Well I've painted the hood, it turned out really good. Now my question is do I wet sand it and/or apply a clear coat to it or just leave it alone? I will say this, the area I'll be mowing doesn't have shrubs or tree branches that will come in contact with the hood. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlwaysLookin80 1,308 #6 Posted December 14, 2015 Workers I leave with original patina, I only paint ones that have no work in their future. First ones a worker, second is a non- worker 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
