Well I was beginning to get into doing some body work after successfully filling, painting, and buffing some scratches here and there on my car, but the I noticed the hood is in pretty bad shape. Enough to re-paint it. But before immediately jumping into stripping my hood, I was going to run to Lowes and buy the same kind of metal that hood is made of, bend it up, ding it, fill it, sand, paint, ect. to get some practice and figure out what I'm doing. Anyways, didn't mean to tell you my life story on painting, but if anyone knows what the stock hood on a 2000 T/A (non-WS6) is made of that would be awesome! (Assuming aluminum but didn't know how special the material is)
Thanks,
