Default need to repaint hood and front bumper

Well like the title says I need to repaint the hood- as part of the clear coat is coming off, and the front bumper has chips- don't know if it would be cheaper to buy a new one rather than to pay someone to fix all the little imperfections.

Also getting the sail panel fixed at the same time.

I have a goodguy to help with the paint. Should I get a new bumper or should I just go and fix what I have.

I'd say fix the one you have, unless you want to go with some kind of custom front end.
Go get some estimatesand see what option turns out to be cheaper for you to do
