Got my hood damage repaired but it didn't suit me. Found a used flat hood in excellent condition but me being me I spent the last several days refurbishing it with 2 coats of SEM trim black and 2 coats of 1k SEM matt clear and a new seal. Running the new wiring for the light took me forever to get right! I ended up having to cut blade connectors off for the light then resoldering and shrink wrapping them after I passed them through the channel. I still have to fine tune the alignment and finish graining it but it will look near perfect when finished later today.

I am going to try to fix my old hood. I think with a little work it will make a very nice panel and someone will get a real deal.
Thanks. It's more of a semi gloss than gloss. When DMCH remanufactured my car it appears they refinished the underbody is a 2 stage black/semi gloss clear paint. It has just held up very well but I do keep the visible areas protected in a non greasy dry to the touch aerosol coating.
Once the parts are clean and free of any contaminants, this is what I use for interior surfaces.

My VIN: 4266, Previously 11056
After having to let 11056 go due to life changes in 2018, I stepped away from the DeLorean scene, unsure what to do next. Loved that car, but it went to a new owner that will get to live the dream now. After a while of missing the car, I decided once again that I must get back into the driver's seat of a DeLorean. It may not be right away but, hopefully this time, it doesn't take 4 years.
