you do not know the "hassles" involved in painting a car like this. you HAVE to sand past all of that crap. If its sanded over and painted over, you will have worse nightmares than what you currently have. If I did it, it would deff be in the ballpark of 2500-3000 to be done right and not a macco econo paintjob. If you are considering to go macco route, take my advice and just drive it as it is......
What about just trying to match the hood, and quarter panel? instead of a full body paint, the door scratch i can get over and bumper too, just the bad hood spot and quarter panel
