Mine is doing the same damn thing. The bottom of the hood right there is all bubbled up. A couple weeks ago a bunch of the paint came off and there's a big bare stripe. Ghetto. I'm going to bitch to GM. And then probly just pay to get the whole hood repainted. It has lots of other chips, too, and I was planning on getting the front bumper cover repainted anyway. A shop shouldn't charge you more than $200 to repaint the whole hood. The hardest part is taking it off the car.

Uhhh... If the shop uses decent paint, you're probably looking at close to $200.00 for just the materials to paint the hood. That is, if you have it stripped, reprimed, repainted, and recleared. I talked to my uncle the other day about repainting my entire car (he owns a body shop) and he said it would likely be around $700 to $800 for all the materials. Plus labor. He said whole-car jobs on newer models are going for around $2000 to $2500 all in. So now I have to decide what I can live with, and just get the nasty parts (hood, rear quarter panels in front of the rear wheels, etc.) done. And I'm going to help, too, so that will cut some of the labor down.
