bill pritchett Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 If you have not posted it yet, do so on the Oldsmobile forum as that is where you would likely get an answer. Also, considering joining the Olds group at http://groups.google.com/group/Olds?hl=en. It is free and has a lot of Olds experts on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Kerr Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Some companys like Year One sell underhood paint. It is close to correct but may a bit on the dull side. I used rustoleum satin black and immediatly while still wet fogged it slightly with flat. Came out nice! if you want it to look like it came from the factory, you need to have body color overspray along the front edge up to the hood latch drop down with the safety catch removed. The over spray was from the front edge of the hood was originally painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
