yes I agree, I would not want anything to do with warping on the hood, especially as good as your xj looks, do some searching around, maybe there is a way to do it without warping,

btw how did you do the light black streaks on the side, looks really cool

yeah, I'd avoid the hood. IT's pretty thin metal so it'll warp easily with the heat that bed lining draws. If you want the hood black, just do a real good prep job and rattle can it with color and a couple layers of clear coat. You could bed line the rockers with that extra can though.

Rockers. Bumper. Anything under the truck that isn't going to need removal.
