Yes, I bought it from West Marine. Thanks for telling me where you bought yours!
I didn't want a 25' roll, but just like you, everyone I knew of had used all of theirs. Well, like I said, I have 19' left if anyone is interested. Shoot me a PM. Just looking to get back what I paid per foot.

Re: Re: Re: Re: For Those With The Hood Mod...
Let me clear this up:
The whole point of my reply to Lifter is because of the negative comment. You have to admit that it is very hippocritical of Lifter to write a negative post, and then not back it up with his own work.
That is great if Lifter did a great job. I am sure he did as I am sure you did as well. For what it is worth, I saw one that was not the best and thus I decided to do the mod as well.
It also comes down to, "If you don't have anything nice to say..."
Check my posts, see if I have EVER written anything negative about anyone's mod\accessory.
I am not the type of person who goes off like this. It just irritates me when people give their negative opinions on someone's work...Yes, I know, that is hippocritical of me.

Sorry if it came off rude but you did ask for comments/opinions didnt you? I was just trying to point out what it looked like to me. If you cant take a little negative feedback off of a message board you have some problems. And in all its just MY opinion and its MY opinion that when i saw the blanket i think i would've spent more time on it to make it look better. :shrug: I think its funny when someone posts stuff on here and asks for opinions on it and when a few people have some negative things to say and they get all pissed off lol.

What did you do to the Cobra lettering on the blanket? Is that paint or did you cut it out? If it's paint where did you get it?
Thanks

I taped it off on the hood blanket, took a long time, the paint is just regular fabric paint from a hobby store, took 4 coats.
It looks better in person, the camera flash does not do it justice.
Now my vents are open

I took my bottle of ford touch up paint with me to match up in the hobby store. There were so many colors and I know there were some colors there that looked very close if not exact to the redfire color.
You will need a flat small brush and pick up a roll of 3m masking tape, 1" wide or so. The hardest part is taping it off, takes hours and is tedious.
Put one coat on each day for a total of 4.
After you remove the masking tape you will still need to touch up some edges but that it easy with a shinny black magic marker and a straight edge.
I also sprayed my entire blanket first with a basic black engine paint non gloss, it looks better than new.
Here is a pic of the fabric paint I used, this is a matte finish paint.
Should be available in any hobby store like "Michaels" is where I purchased my stuff. Good Luck!

T3,
That looks good. I, too, have a yellow car, so the pic is especially interesting to me. I have a pint of zinc yellow automotive paint. I wonder if that'd work as well.

WARNING - if you put tape on a stock hood blanket - you WILL pull off part of the blanket with the tape - and it will look like CRAP. I did this on the "C" on mine, then did freehand the rest of the letters because of this...
This is a little off topic, but related. How are you cleaning your engines and with what?

I tried the automotive paint, I have a spray can of zinc yellow that I had ordered. I sprayed some in a can top and tried it but all it did was soak into the blanket and spread out. What I did NOT try was to actually spray paint it after the letters were masked off. That might work better, I don't know?

I did not have any issue with the masking tape pulling off any of the hood blanket?
:beer:
Did you tape it before or after you painted the entire blanket with the black paint? That would make a BIG difference I would suppose...
