Before I do bad things to my hood, does anyone have some pictures and/or experience with squirting anti-flutter foam between the hood inner panel and outer skin? My panels aren't separated, I just need to replace all the foam that fell out, which is pretty much all of it.

The first picture is of my hood before I primed it with epoxy primer. The second picture is of a random hood showing the locations were the anti-flutter foam was applied by the factory. I am trying to achieve this look. I suspect that all I need to do is just squirt X amount in-between the panels and it expands out.

Urethane is similar to what was used.

are you repairing the out side for paint?
 
I just posted a product for another member here. Set the hood up in the shade on all four corners
just like it sits in the car. clean the areas between where the old foam is with 80 grit paper and
blow off with compressed air. Apply just enough polyurethane foam in between the panels to make
it look like stock. Wait overnight for it to set up. Cut all of the old junk out with a single edged razor
blade. This stuff will not swell the hood! You can wet the hood down to check flatness. That's it!

I ended up using 3M Duramix 04274. Applies like 3M window weld. Great advice on orienting the hood with the underside down. The Duramix settled downwards which made it look more like the factory.

Moulin Rouge! Original color??? Very Nice! Glad you found a product that worked for you.
