Looking to enter my car in the Chicago Route 66 NMRA Ford Weekend. Need to remove, clean and would also like to paint the underhood soundproofing material. Has anyone attempted this? Did you use paint? Dye? I want to use a color other than black. I am concerned about possible heat and chipping affecting the results over time. Looking for all suggestions.
 
That sound deadening material will absorb liquid like mad. I don't think it's even worth attempting to paint or color or anything. I just removed mine.

That is my whole idea. The Cougar emblem is on the material and I would like to paint it red to match my car, leaving the rest
black. Now it is a little dirty. Want to clean it up then paint the logo. I'll start experimenting this weekend.
