I have had enough watching the clear coat fade on the hood. What started out as just a few spots quickly grew in size in really only about a year's time, and quite a few rock chips are rusting a little bit also. Just looks terrible....
You can see above the fender flare is starting to flake as well. My other main cosmetic issue here is more self-induced... I had a load of steel slip forward on my trailer and slide into the back door, which scratched it up pretty good. So my plan is to fix the hood first, then if I feel good about those results worry about the fender and the back door.
The scratches on the bumper are also self-inflicted, but I'm still holding hope that I'll have an aftermarket bumper on here someday so they should be able to disappear naturally. On to the hood.
