How much to repaint the hood on a 2012 GT?
I dropped the water hose on my hood and chipped the paint/put very small dent in the hood. Anyone have any ideas on how much it might cost to have it repainted? It is a 2012 red candy metallic GT that has been garage kept and out of the sun. Any comments are appreciated.

check for corrosion on the lip of the hood and ford may repaint it for free.. atleast the corroded area
I wonder if you could just point out corrosion on the stock hood and tell them you are buying a new hood and instead of repairing the stock, they can paint the new one for free which would probably be cheaper and easier for them, and more beneficial for you? some dealers suck though and dont work with you like that.

It ended up costing me $344. I am pleased with the job as i can barely tell it was done. Several of my friends have looked at it and cannot tell it was redone so I am pleased. Moral of the story is i need to pay better attention when washing the car next time and replace my clunky metal hose nozzle with a plastic one. Thanks for all the input.
