2002 Camaro Z28
I found a good deal on an SS hood ($100). It has a little fiberglass damage. And it's not the right color. It's black, I need Navy Blue Metallic. I want to make a project out of this, learn fiberglass work.
1) To repair the fiberglass, would I just apply fiberglass resin or bondo and sand it down smooth to make it nice again?
2) When painting, how much paint will I need to redo both sides of the hood? I don't have a paint gun/air compressor, but I could probably find one to borrow if I really tried. I found my paint code online for $35 in an 11 oz aerosol can. I'm kinda hesitant to use an aerosol can, because I want it to come out really nice. But I've done paint work using cans and been well pleased in the past. Would 11 oz be enough or no?
3) What clearcoat should I use?
Edit: maybe I'll just paint the bottom of the hood black. Rather than putting the expensive paint on the underside. So will 11 oz. cover the top of the hood?
