An update....
I stopped at the shop yesterday.... the boss had my hood done, at least the
underside. It looks great! The top had been blasted to bare metal, i can
paint it. He said he's not sure if he can do a gloss urethane on the topside,
because it's gotta be baked 50 degrees hotter than the underside. He's gonna
look into that for me.
So far i've invested $105 into this project. Hood cost $25, sandblasting
cost $50 (two layers of undersoat PLUS primer and paint, no wonder i couldn't
sand it!!!) and $25 to have the hood taped and coated on the bottom. I
completely trust his judgement. He's been doing this work for a while, and
everything i've sent to him comes out fantastic.

You guys might be interested in the pics here:

Click on the customer pics link and scroll way to the bottom to see a Jeep
hood done in a candy red powder. There are other pics on the page too, and
they look very good.
