To paint a hood, you'll need automotive paint that matches your OEM paint code, primer, and clear coat, along with appropriate tools such as sandpaper, a spray gun, and masking tape. Additionally, it's important to have a well-ventilated workspace and personal protective equipment like gloves and a respirator mask. You may also want some glazing putty and a plastic spreader to repair any nicks or dings in the hood before priming. The use of a lint free towel and surface prep solvent is also important to ensure all contaminants are removed before applying your coatings. Contaminants often cannot be seen until after paint or clearcoat, so this step will save you time in the repair process and ensure a smooth, clear appearance that matched your OEM paint.
