Re: Daytona hood fixin
is it fiberglass or steel?
If you have bare metal, you will want to use a self etch or an epoxy primer over the bare metal before doing anything.

Re: Daytona hood fixin
I will agree with the use of epoxy primer, There is a special primer just for fiberglass, but its mainly an epoxy primer that doesn't absorb into the fiberglass to bad and works with the gel coat,
