Ok ok, i know, it's not at everyone's likings but...my hood is rusted on the front. So i put some primer on to cover it up. Anyways, long story short, the car is going into paint next year, so i wanted to have some fun with the hood and rust it out. I've been searching all over HT and couldn't find any pics? Can someone please post some up if you have?

Thanks guys/gals!

You could go many routes to get it stripped, but I've heard that vinegar helps accelerate the oxidizing process.

burnt_clutch · 10-08-2008, 04:02 PM

did this on my old mk3 jetta, on the roof trunk and hood. strip it down to bare metal. take salt water and spray the area you want rusted liberally. then throw a tarp over top of the area you want to rust. pretty much overnight it will be pretty rusted.

vsm-ek · 10-08-2008, 06:03 PM

I'm just doing it for the hell of it. If you would see my hood, you'd probably do the same as me

Pics look sweet though

I really like that eg

XSCIVIC93 · 10-08-2008, 06:10 PM

should do the whole car

vsm-ek · 10-08-2008, 06:15 PM

right, then get pulled over by the cops and have it towed to the scrap yard lol.

here are two pics of my hatch...I had a cf hood so this was just a little project

this is in the early stages of rusting....got alot worse or i guess "better" before i gave it away

kefka · 10-08-2008, 07:05 PM

I love it! What ever happened to the "Hood Ride" thread? There was some cool shit in there

BoiDucky · 10-08-2008, 10:25 PM

do it.. let your hood rust!!..be different!!

torontoefsedan · 10-08-2008, 10:42 PM

well everything else rusts on hondas lol..

but i heard a vinegar / salt water solution works well to rust the hood.. and leave it in the sun with that on it and it should rust pretty well.. after stripped of course.

OR maybe, if i rust the hood and slap on a hood bra? I think that would be different haha.
