New fiberglass hood: Has anyone ever had success with flat black rattle cans?

You do not need to remove fenders to remove hood hinge assembly. Jack up front end of car, remove wheels, remove splash shields behind wheels. Using a long screwdriver or pry bar remove the fasteners holding hinges on, then remove the hinge assembly. I used my 69 hinges but swapped out the springs for ones off of a K car or Fwd Daytona.
