What are your opinions on getting the hood painted? I have several rocks chips along the front of my hood. I read something a while back on this web site about air brush touch ups that were designed for scratches and rock chips, but I don't know of anyone who does it? Has anyone had any experience with it. Also, if I have to get the whole repainted is there anything in particular I should know before I do this. All I know to say is "Make it look like it never happened." Also, what do you think this should cost. I know when someone backed into me and crushed my driver side back door, I got a new door and the whole left half of the car painted for $1200 with that expensive pearl white paint with the chips in it. Recently, I saw a commercial that said paint jobs were half off and were being advertised for $250. Does this sound right to you?

 

What color is your car?

 

If you repaint it, make sure to use 3M protectant film over the front of the hood where the chips are, do a search for 3M film online or something, its like an invisible car bra

 

Rosewood I think is the Nissan name. It's a dark burgundy.

 

Can anyone give first hand knowledge about this 3M protective film, if it's worth it, where I can get it, and how hard is it to put on?

 

www.paintstratch.com will take care of those chips very nicely

 

For the same price of proffesionally refinishing your hood, you could get a brand new carbon fiber hood with burgondy tint to added.

I see it on alot of show cars, and I'm planning to use it on my CF hood cuz... with a CF hood I dont have the option repainting it... its a good investment, there is a tiny line where the film fits on the car... it looks sweet

 

it costs $119 and has a 4 year warranty
