Hood is dying?
Hood is dying? Okay, so my hood has been doing this over about 2 weeks now, there are spots all over it. The paint was faded before but now... this. Also, its the fiberglass stock WS6 hood. The only way to get rid of this is to sand it all down and repaint it?
Its kind of a bad pic, but the car had been repainted before. The clear seems to be on the hood still but its like bubbling underneath it. I can't feel anything if I touch those spots.
I wash it every other day actually, because of the dust. I also wax it about every 2 weeks in hopes of saving a little shine until I can afford to get it painted. The previous owner got one of those tijuana paint jobs and its pretty much terrible. They painted over all of the emblems and molding and then took them off, so now I have indentations where the trans am used to be on the side, etc. The hood was the only thing with factory paint on it still, and its the only part of the car this is happening to. Is that common for fiberglass?

I'm not expert but trying wetsanding it with like 2000 or 1500 grit sand paper and buffing the living hell out of it. If that doesn't work get it repainted and take better care of your paint.
ur waxing it too much well depends wut wax u use but my uncle and friends clear coat started to peel and they talked to a pro detailer and he said it was becuz they waxed it too much the most u should wax is like every two months im no expert its just wut i heard hope it helps

if its threw the clear u can sand all day and it wont look the same..... never..... if you still have the clear u can try lightly wet sanding it and buffing it up... but that doesnt look like it will be a easy task at all... u probly gonna have to get it repainted

Update on mine. My headlights, my center t-top panel and my hood did this. Its the actual black paint fading. I sanded mine and it didnt help. Go get a good repaint. My hood/etc is laying in the shop waiting to go into the booth
