Default How much to paint my hood?

How much will it cost to paint my hood?

My body shop put touch up paint in my rock chips and it looks awful. I simply cannot live with this arrangement.

Rock chips are always nasty on the car. Touch up paint hides the problem but not completely. If you decide to repaint it, make sure you ask for a complete job which requires sanding off the existing paint. Otherwise, it's going to to be uneven. Or perhaps, the shop can fill the holes prior to painting.

I repainted my bumper on my Civic back in the days and went the cheap route. Just repainting which cost about $300 or so. You can see dimples from the chips.

How much you think to clearbra the entire hood? Not just 3/4th but the whole hood?

omg dude, y is it 10 bags? I can't figure out a reason why u bought so much. Even you don't have time to go to the grocery store, I mean 2-3 bags is fine, but 10 dude... that's insane stocking. I used to live in MD a while back and it's not as good as cali. but I'm curious why u have so much rice here.
