ttkresurfacing, what hood is that on your H2?

 

hey ttkresurfacing did you do that yourself or did you get it done if you had it done how much was it

 

Same question

 

This is something that Ive done on most of my vehicles, and if done right it sticks fine. It's actually the first mod I have planned for the SUT. (my pops has a paint booth and weve been painting for years) USE the adhesion promoter! After the promoter I would throw down a couple layers of primer so you can sand the parts flat and git rid of the grain in the plastic. Its not necessarily complicated, but time consuming when you take into account all the plastic on these rigs. If you dont have painting capabilities, I would suggest you do all the prep work yourself ( Its what gonna cost you at a shop) and then take it to a shop for a final cleanse and spray. But PLEASE dont use any aerosal spray paint crap on your H2, it deserves better!

 

The hood is just a cowl induction that replace the hood vents. As far as painting, the H2 got keted so I had the whole thing repainted. I believe if someone did it for you it would probably cost around 1500 or more. There is ALOT of stuff that has to be removed, sanded, primered, painted, etc. I actually removed and but back every peice myself. There are 16 or so clips on each side that hold the molding on, I believe the dealership wanted around $10 each.

Hope that helps.

i think paintin plastic is a waste of $$$ it will chip and that doesnt look good at all
