Chips on the Hood?
I've never had a car in my life that has more chips in the paint on the hood. I looks like someone dropped a bag of stone in front of the car.... I have a BBY and all the chips you can see white specs. What is the best way to fix this? Do I have to re-paint the entire hood?

Repaint and then put a clear bra if it really gets to you. A friend has an 03 LY Evo and his paint chips on his hood is crazy. But for him... he doesn't much care about it.
I don't think has terrible colors... it's the lack of extra layers that sucks. I think they lay down one layer of paint and no clearcoat and that's it.

I've got chips everywhere, even a couple on the doors?!?? I almost hate washing my car cuz I have to look at 'em all. And there's at least 3-4 new ones every time. Damn Colorado winters... And it looks like everyone who's posted so far lives somewhere that gets a good winter.

basically...the 03-04 factory paint is crap...most people will discover that they will need a full respray in 4-5 years so you might as well just respray the entire car

I started claybaring my Evo & found that the chips aren't anywhere near as bad as I thought.
Unfortunately, I recently tore my right index finger down to the bone... almost impossible to finish the car without using my right hand.
Really frustrating trying to shift using only the ring & pinkie fingers...
