    Troy does but it might not be a good example of how it holds up as he never drives the car.

    In all seriousness, he has had his painted for many years now and I believe it'd been fine.

    I would also ask Troy. Might send a pm to 98saleen too, he has some custom paint under his hood too.

    blah blah blah... dude if you like anyone who does custom airbrush make sure they just prep the panel and it has a good one or 2 coats of clear coat on it.... and it will be fine ... your hood doesnt get 300 degrees... so dont fn fret!
