    Bringing A Hood Back

    This was my Sunday project. Its my parents beater Suburban the hood had totally faded out and looked bad. This was my first attempt at doing anything like this so let me know what you guys think. I think it turned out really good. Oh and at the bottom my puppy wanted to say hi.

    I washed with LAS wash from Race Glaze then I used XMT 3 then 1. Then used Wolfgang glaze and topped it off with Pinnacle Liquid Souveran. I was impressed with how easy the XMT products were to use. Im glad I had this to practice on before I actually tried it on something where it matters if I had screwed up.
