[QUOTE="270Handiman, post: 143307, member: 2455"] Also, the worst thing about the whole motor project was getting the original stickers removed from the fiberglass hood. I used every kind of sticker removal chemical I could find and it barely touched the stuff. I pulled the paint off of the stickers really fast, but it wouldn't touch the residue underneath. I also took the time to smooth out all of the old scratches and dings in the fiberglass hood before I repainted. Somehow I didn’t get pictures with the red filler putty on the grey and white hood with the green lower unit, but trust me, IT LOOKED BAD at that point. But, it looks better now, and this is before all the new stickers went on!

I guess that is the reason you see so much reflection in these pictures. [/QUOTE]
