Hi I just got my new vfn sunoco hood to day. How long do I have to wait before I can have it painted. I have been told a week to 3 months. how much does the primer shrink ? Is there anyway to speed up shrinking process. I want to get it done asap. thanks.

 

i go by this for all fiberglass hoods... run it on the car for about 2 weeks... then you paint it... the heat from the engine helps the gel coat cure 100% thus reavealing any waves-pin holes- and other imperfections that might show up through the paint if not cured like this... (iv seen people do this) its also good to run it on the car becuase you can line it up and make sure it fits properly somtimes fiberglass not being OEM doesnt fit right and needs body work... hope this is what you were looking for...

 

Where did you order your hood? I need to order a vfn hood but I didn't see anyway to order on their website

 

You will have to give them a call.

 

sounds good thanks...
