Yes, shoo goo
But don't do it to a painted surface...
Shoo goo tends to lift the paint off the lexan
I have the DC rubi Wraith i was planning on painting this weekend. I would like to do the flippy hood mod but that requires reinforcing some of the pieces and gluing the spacers to the body. The directions say to use shoe goo. I was planning to paint on the inside like any other body, should I not do that or just be extremely careful when applying the shoe goo?

If the spacers are the same material as the body (lexan / polycarbonate) A solvent type adhesive (Weldon 2003) will bond the 2 pcs together better than any shoo goo joint. If the spacers are a different material you may have little choice but shoe goo or some other glue.
Whatever you do make sure the body & spacers are very clean on the surfaces you are joining (no paint, scuffed, & cleaned with alcohol at least.)
Pics of parts in question may be helpful.
just curious, what is this kit for the hood latches ???
