I've decided that I want to have my hood done up exactly like this
I figure I'll polish the top side and leave the bottom side painted. Maybe a brushed finish would work better since it'd be easier to maintain and wouldn't show minor imperfections as much. Can anyone recommend any tips for a DIY'er like what to start with (aircraft stripper) and what grit sand papers to use (wet/dry)? I also recall seeing a website that showed how to make your own custom louvers but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have a link?
