Think he means the hood blanket.

Think he means the hood blanket.

I would guess the sound deadening on the inside of the hood?

I'm thinking that's not paintable. It's a material of some sort.

Pretty sure he meant that he is painting his hood. Of course, he could have been referring to the engine cover.

It's really simple to take it off. You can have it off in a minute or 2. I had to remove it when i installed my roush vents. I used a fastener removal tool to pull off all the fasteners and the hood blanket comes off easy.

That's... interesting. Straight out of a Votech kid's sketchbook...also Bing? I didn't know people used that.

I'm testing the new Chromium based Edge for work, it's the default search. To be honest it's not as bad as it used to be, I'd say 90% of the time I find what I'm looking for.

Removing the heat shield or whatever you want to call it is a matter of pulling a bunch of plastic push clips holding it in place. Super easy. I doubt you can paint it. It's a very mush material. What I think you've seen is people who have a custom panel cut and then that is painted. But I would very surprised to hear they're painting the original thing itself.

This is what my friend had done, as you can see, the heat blanket has been painted
