    You've certainly got a hell of a lot of chips there! I think your only solution is a respray,if you want your hood looking like new again.One or two,okay,but to touch up so many and expect a good finish would be painstakingly difficult.

    If i can find the book,I'll let you know what it says.
    You know, that book could be a great find. I was telling my wife that I'm half tempted to buy a small spray gun (Lowe's has a Kobalt for about $39) and a compressor (again at Lowes, it was about $60 and is a small electric one that matches up with the spray gun kit) and learn how to try to completely repaint my hood and front bumper cover. I figure that if I learn how to do it right it would be an invaluable tool. The hood needs painted anyway so what's the big deal if I screw up.

    Right now, I'm trying to fix one spot until I can get around to learning about painting.
