Complete change of plans now.......The hood has some siginificant damage that the painter said would not repair and paint out well,so I am just gonna keep the hood on for the time being and wait until the end of summer and have the entire car painted at one time(and purchase another hood).....I did not take into account that there is a possibility of a bit of color difference if I only piece paint the car right now,so the decision has been made to wait.
NO big deal..........Now I will have time to get all monies to paint the car at one time and it will look as I have desired.
