69 hood paint

[kasearch@ix.netcom.com]

where are the cut lines for painting the underside of the 69 hood? What black is used for this?

It was done with a mask so most use foam tape for soft edge. Jeff should be able to post some pics. Black with 60-70% gloss similar to engine bay

Had this one handy from the old photobucket service

Need to post more examples over on CMF as it appears I need to. This one shows the soft edges and the challenge of "tapping off" the areas around the features (two on each side) at the rear of the hood bottom side. Original paint is faded and weathered so don't use it IMHO as a guide to the gloss level 

Edge was sharper away from the features as shown in the pictures.




This thread will provide additional examples both very early and pretty late built cars. IMHO practices appear to not have changed much. Not exact but in a range
