Black Hood Scoop Mod

Looks good!

 

That looks awesome! I am thinking about doing this to mine but I wanted to make sure I did it correctly. You all mentioned you plastidipped the scoop. Is the stuff painted on or sprayed?

 

Probably a stupid Question but is this plastidip stuff removable? I keep getting a picture in my head that you can peel it off.. Idk.. I want to do this mod but i also want to have a option of my color... Let me know!!!

 

plastidip sprays on and it claims to be removable. Have not tried to remove any though.

 

Anyone got any pictures of this done on a MGM?

 

hmm interesting anyone else?

 

Someone mentioned that you can purchase plastidip at Lowes. Is there a specific plastidip that you need to purchase? What steps did you take to complete this mod?

Sorry for asking some many questions but i am very new at doing these types of mods to my truck.

 

i got it at the home depot..it will be in the paint section. It basically looks like a can of spray paint. I just took the hood scoop off, cleaned it real well, and then applied 4 coats. Allowing 30 minutes between coats.

 

I still want to know if its removable!!!!!!

 

You could buy an extra scoop insert and paint that if you ever want to go back to original color!

 

yeah true... but i keep hearing that this stuff is removable.. if you apply it on thick.. im pretty sure thats why OP used this stuff instead of regular black paint.

 

op?

 

So I was just doing some research on the plasti dip. Whne you all applied it to your scoop, did you just spray it on. Was there any sanding for anything else besides a good cleaning? How well did it hold up?

 

I dit it, I also painted the screen red. Looks like a turbine air intake.

 

i liked it so much I did mine too, i used about 6 coats of black Krylon paint,
couldn't find plastidip up here in Canada

 

So you just pulled the scoop off and painted it. You didn't do any sanding for anything else???

 

I buffed it up with a scotch pad, and then cleaned it with paint cleaner. Make sure you clear coat when done, it helps with the bugs.

 

do ya'll tape off the screen part of the scoop or paint it too?

 

Real clean lookin'

 

i used my wifes nail polish remover to clean the scoop, buffed it with steel wool
and painted away. i was in a hurry to get it back on and didn't let it dry long enough
now i have a little finger print on it.
so let it dry good
