Chips on hood
- Thread starter Slowbra01
- Start date
I know you said you didn't want to repaint, but I thought I'd let you know that I got my hood repainted free through Ford. Some cars produced 01-03 have something wrong with the paint on the hood. Mine was chipping excessively, so I took it to a dealership and they had it in the shop the next day. Maybe you could look into it.
and if Ford doesn't want to do it for you...well....here you go:

I have an 04 with some chips, do you think they would repaint that?
It has to show some sort of factory paint defect not just road hazard/avoidable chips from highway driving, following dump trucks and riding peoples asses all day long.
well, on mine you could see the impact point of the rocks. The amount of paint that came off was not a reflection of the impact. The Ford paint guy looked at my hood and said the paint was crap and did not try to argue with me one bit.
There are alot of places poppin up round my neck of the wood that actually fill them in and somehow buuf and stuff and the chips totally disapper, amazing work also these places do the paintless dent removal, they go by wacky names like "Paintmedic" and "Chips-away" etc, they do great quick work.
Yeah, I get mine touched up by a local detailer for $25 and you couldn't even tell the difference afterwards.

paintless dent removal is a totally different thing than chip repair. chip repair the paint is damaged. dent removing is straightening out the body panel.
dent removal is pretty damn insane what people can do...
the only way to remove chips without repainting is touch up paint, wait till it dries, and wetsand it. some people who know what they're doing will spray a light clearcoat over it and wetsand it again, but i don't trust myself with spraying shit on my car
