Woud you repaint the hood?

atruelunatic · 09-09-2015, 05:50 PM

My car has about 90k miles on it right now and for the first year or two I've had a clear bra on the front, but didn't like how it looked after getting hit with rocks. Little holes and raised edges in the clear bra so I had it removed.

I just recently got my bumper redone due to some debris on the hwy and think I want to get basically a full makeover. I'm currently letting leatherique do its thing on the novillo leather and will be doing the engine bay myself.

I'm about to get the exterior corrected but still don't know what I should do with my hood.

It has a lot of rock chips and don't know if I should get it redone before getting the car corrected. I will be getting CQuartz done on it (probably 3 coats) as well.

Most of my driving is on highway (still have ~29mm on the original brake rotors after 90k to give you an idea). Is it worth it to get this redone since it'll end up getting more rock chips anyways? (Clear bra is out of the question)

Repaint, clear bra is almost as expensive and doesn't look as good.
