i would use plastic adhesion promoter. Will make paint stick much better. Prep work is the key

Its not difficult to remove at all, the toughest screws to get at are the ones on each end that are almost underneath the hood brackets. But they are easy if you've got a short screw driver. Not hard at all
Ever notice anyone driving slower than you is an idiot and anyone driving faster than you is a maniac?

I was too lazy to take it off. I had 36 inch masking paper so it was real easy to cover anything that might get overspray. It worked out well.Hoodzy wrote:is it not easy to take offBolverk wrote:I masked everything around it, hood/windshield.

there paint specially formulated for plastic/vinyl. Abride plastic real well with gray Scotch Brite pad, wipe it real good with wax and grease remover or at least rubbing alcohol. Put some primer on it, it would adhere paint much better in long run. Then once dry you can wet sand primer (get sandable primer) sand it with like 500-600 grit wet-or-dry sandpaper. after its nice and smooth clean it good again and you can go ahead and paint it.
