wanna get rid of rock chips. What are my options?

Ive got about a million tiny little chips and nicks on my front hood .. being a black car, it shows like a mutha!

what are my options to get the hood redone (aka repainted :o) ? am i gonna be paying like a million bucks, or are their any reasonable touch up paint options?

I want to get it into a good enough condition so I can have the 3m bra put on so I wont get any more scratches.

PS - Hi Everyone! I've missed ya'll!

Nighthawk black is a bitch to touchup. I say look to get the hood repainted. It's not gonna be cheap, but if you find a good body shop, it'll be done right.

Honda touch up paint and langka should be good enough.

Re: wanna get rid of rock chips. What are my options?

Here are your options:

1) Touch up the hood as the chips come, but you have to make sure you do it right.

or

2) Get the paint protection system(clear bra) like i will get. For information, check out these websites.

www.xpel.com
www.stongard.com

Hope this helps and let me know, if you get it, how it turns out!
