Question Need SS Hood Painted, any recommendations?

I'm in Saginaw, and need to get my SS hood painted the factory "arctic white". It's a factory original in great shape, so very little prep work would be needed. It's never been painted.

I had a guy who was a painter at a dealer in Clio who would paint it for a great price, $150, but I can't get a hold of him anymore.

Anyone have recommendations? Thanks.

Anyone? I'm willing to drive within an hour or two of Saginaw to get this painted if someone knows of a decent place.

Thanks,
Dan

I know when I did mine, it wasn't as simple as bolting on the hood. You'll need a professional to line it all up. You'll need to adjust the front bumper and quarter panels to make everyting nice and flush. In other words, you need to have some sort of body shop knowledge to make it look good. I couldn't do it so I took it to a freind (Mt Clemens).

Good luck.

Yeah, I already did a test fit. It fits great. Only a couple of tweaks that I'll have to make at the rear points.
