Yeah. I'm not going to make and definate decisions until I can get some quotes back. I'll try to do another update with more pics tomorrow.

Well if you are really worried about the paint in the hood you could always try and find a nice hood in color

Great website to find parts for cars
just looking at the pictures I would do the high speed buff before I started to sand it down.

Okay new pics of the spiderweb cracks on the hood... Also what appears to be some patching in a different color than what came factory.

Patch on fender
Patch on gas cap

I have the same problem. Littler specks though. But I think I'm going to sand it all and use Perfect Match Spray paint to do the job. It goes down clean and holds up.

Here is a good write up. i know it's a right up for an entire vehicle but just lower all the stuff to just the hood if that's what your doing.
