I purchased my 2000 Mercury Marquis used. The previous owner had neglected the car somewhat as there were some stains on the hood that they seemed to have removed with Brillo scratching and staining the surface with a gray finish.

I spray painted those areas with a can of auto paint, and the hood looks better than before but I am conscious of those areas as I am an amateur at painting.

There are no dents in the hood so does anyone have an idea of what an autobody shop would charge just to repaint the hood?

Or should I just leave it alone?

 

i am bettin $500-$1000 for painting hood... prep, material and labor
