I am getting ready to at least black out my roof top (paint). The color is starting to fade in one spot. I have seen several paint jobs like you are pondering and started thinking about this as well because the hood is starting to do the same thing. Once you start looking at the way it would lay out, the upperside body line of the Snive looks like it was made for this type of paint job. Did I read you right, "Plasticote"? I never heard of it for the finish on a body panel, just for wheels and other bolt ons. What is involved?
