I will be painting my hood this week. I pulled the rods out and ordered some stainless rod to go back in. I will see how things lay as to if I can paint inside and out all in one shot. I do a fair amount restoration work and paint work in general. The most important thing to me is to always paint the panel in the way it will be installed on the vehicle. This is more important with metallics, but I have got in that habit early on.
I will report back as to how the hood panels can be set up to paint both sides at once... It's been a few weeks since I looked at them.
