If you do not want to repaint the whole hood you can try mixing color and clear together and toutch it up.You might have to do a couple of times. Then let it dry, wet sand with grit 2000 sanding paper and then you can buff it. The best way to do is strip the paint, epoxy prime it then regular primer, sealer, base coat and finaly clear coat.

Gytis is your man if you want this done

He has painted a few parts on my car for me. There is going to be a little more paint coming up soon here.

Only thing I know to pay attn to is make sure you get the chips filled in good so you dont have dimples in the paint all over. I had a buddy paint his front end a few years back and they just sprayed over the chips and it looked terrible up close.

Get this done and I have someone that will clear bra your car for wholesale and does a great job.

Gytis is the member above me so you can PM him to see what he can do to help you out.

Did you get my email? I put CL and all that in the subject line so you know its okay to open in case it went to your Junk Folder.
