Check out a post from rmuller on the landroveronly forum. $50 for a hood blackout kit (shipped). just fyi & good luck

 

I suggest Black Satin bumper and trim paint. You can buy it in rattle can.

 

if you use a rattle can good tip is soak the can in some hot water shake well soak some more and keeps doing and it will keep even consistency and pressure.

 

this would be best

then you could just chuck tools, chains ect on it

 

I have decided against the vinyl because of cost and my inability to apply a basic sticker without bubbles. I am also worried about the heat from my engine affecting it if I decide to remove my hood liner. I like the rhinolining idea and I mentioned it about a year ago when I was going to do the same thing to my D2 on this forum and got mixed responses. I don't think it would look bad at all and am still thinking about doing it... For this rover however, I just want to keep it simple and cover up the horrible clear coat. Here is a pic of a rhinolined van that would look similar to my D2... I think it would work well.
