Painting Under Hood Insulation

[@ScaleSpeedworks]

Another awesome tutorial! With a spray can you can also spray onto wax paper then dip your brush in for touch up! Thanks 👍

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

I've never thought about doing it on wax paper. That's a great tip. I will pin this to the top of the comments. Thank you for watching.

Nice camouflage! Looks like the felt insulation. I used carpet felt and white glue. This looks a lot neater and easier.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thanks for watching. It is very quick and easy. I was at a hobby shop way back in the 70s when I watched an old guy (probably my age) do this, and it's the only way I've done it since. I also do the interior carpet about the same way. I'll do a video on that when I get to that part of the build I'm doing.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

It is. A heck of a lot quicker too.

On many models I use the paper towel (with a smaller texture) itself to replicate trunk insulation. Once it's cut-to-fit it's secured in place with white glue, then painted black or brown. Initially, that's what I thought I was going to see here. Your way works well too.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

I like doing trunks and things like that with paper towels. For the hoods I like to paint them so they stay smooth since they would be tucked into the hood frame.

[@12345682900]

@@grandpamarkshobbies Oops! Sorry, I'm an idiot..... I JUST NOW realized your video says, ".....hood insulation." Yes, for hoods....something "thinner & smoother" is best.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

LOL. you are not an idiot. That is a good idea. I was thinking about it last night, and if you soaked the paper towel in glue and put it in place, then burnished the edges I think it would look GREAT.

[@12345682900]

@@grandpamarkshobbies HA! Thanks.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thanks for getting the old brain moving. LOL

[@JoeFortunato009]

For texture I carefully paint in the black, then I brush on (Elmers) glue and sprinkle flocking material. Now it's black and feels like cloth.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

I haven't gotten into flocking yet. I really enjoy hand painting, so this is still a bunch of fun for me.

[@modelrestorations]

[@markforster6457]

At first, I wasn't sure that would turn out, but I was wrong. It looks good! I have a 1970 Cougar with a weird pattern under the hood. I'll have to think on that one. Thanks for this video!

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

I've been using this technique for a very long time. It sure looks great. I have to admit, it even looks better in person. When you give it a try please let me know how it comes out.

[@markforster6457]

I will let you know.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thanks

[@markforster6457]

For less than $5 you can buy enough material to make 100 tea bags. Looking at the stuff and thinking about under hood insulation I've seen in the past, that material could work. Put it in place and wash it with black acrylic paint. I'm sure your way is best, but I can't resist daydreaming.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Now that is a very cool idea. I may be trying that one sometime in the future.

[@DreamBigBuildSmall]

Very cool 👍 thanks for sharing

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

Thank you very much. I hope my videos will help, or at least amuse.

[@jamesbunch9964]

Spend some time masking off the underhood metal using small pieces of masking tape. This takes a little time. Then using faux or textured spray paint (usually flat black) simply spray light coats and the results are amazingly real! A nice clean even texture. Faux available thru ebay and textured available at Hobby Lobby (chalk) or Lowe's. Just another idea. Oh yeah, paint the hood's metal color first then the insulation! For better separation mask off the insulation area prior to hood color then do the above masking/painting.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

I've never tried that before. I'll have to check it out. I do this method because I have the stuff on hand. LOL. Have a great day, and thanks for watching.

[@ccook31]

Very cool.... the second of your vids that I've learned from this AM. Although not directly related... like most viewers I've used the flocking powder...but man is it messy. I haven't done it yet but I'm curious about using other common household 'powders' like salt, sugar, some seasonings... obviously will require spray painting.. but curious if anybody has a formula.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

I've moved away from the flocking. It just makes way too much of a mess for me. That's why I started stippling the felt and carpets. You have to watch salt, it will eat your paint. I've used salt as a weathering on airplanes and it WILL give you a good weathering effect, but you wouldn't want to leave it on.

[@ccook31]

@@grandpamarkshobbies Yike!... I completely forgot about that. duh. I do some armor but haven't used salt for weathering. Thanks for heading off that idea. I've used baking soda to 'gum up' paint for the purpose of mud, dirt, etc... but it's too fine for texture. Maybe sugar. Thanks again for all the intel.

[@grandpamarkshobbies]

I've tried sugar before, but when it hits the glue it melts and smooths out. I've used white grout for snow that I mixed with Mog Podge. I thought it was very convincing.

In that high humidity I think I'd try an acrylic paint of some kind. It seems to work best, but you still have to watch, it takes much longer for it to harden. Instead of a day or so I would go about a week and a half.
