Got hit by a debris on the highway going home causing some scratches on the hood. Any body shop recommendations?

Might be able to buff most of that off?

Just dropped my M3 off at Castle Collision in Westbury this morning for very similar damage, mine will need a new hood and paint. Shop came highly recommended by a good friend.

Hood repaint usually calls for blend to the fenders to look uniform.

Not sure why you would need a new hood if you had light scratches/scuffs similar to the OP. But yes, as SFM3 said make sure they blend the hood with the fenders and not just repaint the hood.

Mine was dented and these aluminum hoods must usually be replaced when that happens.

BTW picked mine up yesterday- car is immaculate, Castle Collision cleaned and detailed the whole car, new hood is pristine, paint match is perfect!
