[Shotimes] How do you recondition a hood mat?

[Donald Mallinson]

I know that many people have tried washing them with lousy 
results (including myself).

What the SS Impala crowd did, at least some of them, is to 
carefully vacuume it then spray with black paint to make the 
color dark again, then they sprayed high temp clear on it 
till it was soaked.  They said this way, they could at least 
spray it off and dirt would not soak into it.  But it made 
it look REALLY artificial.

I think the best thing is just use a little black paint on 
it (and maybe make a pattern for the SHO on the V6 cars and 
use a bit of white paint on that area).

With a little bit of masking and some care, you don't even 
have to remove it.
