I’ve got an old Toyota, and years of sun have started to take thier toll on the paint. I’m starting to see the pain chipping on the hood. I want to keep this thing running for as long as I can, and I don’t want it to look like a rust victim while I do it.
What options do I have to repair it? What are cheaper easier options, and what the the more expensive options?
If its just the hood and a large part of it, you can take the hood off and have it repainted, paint matched to what is on your vehicle or to the correct paint code your vehicle is supposed to have. The second option may not match exactly with the rest of the car depending on the damage/fading the other panels have in the paint.
If its to the point of chipping, you can try and paint on top but the damage will remain underneath and the new paint will fail early.
