Painting Hood

Noticed that I have a bunch of little paint chips on my hood. Has anyone had their 1ers hood repainted? How much did you guy pay? I called a couple of local shops and the estimates were all over the place and I want to know if its a fair figure or if its better to just buy Dr. ColorChip and fix them myself

*Will add pics once its back to daylight

As a body shop manager, I would charge $300 to fix chips and paint the hood. Most of the time blending the fenders would be a good idea for color match and that would be another $300. You most likely don't have to do that on a black car but I am just letting you know. Hope this helps.

BTW 900th post!!!

I got my front bumper and hood resprayed. It ran a little over $600 at a reputable body shop. So yeah $300 a panel is about right.
