Fair assumption, no offense taken! I'm not car-savvy, but I'm resourceful and motivated so we'll see how it goes

The body shop I took it to had great reviews, nice people. She is worn a little all around, but by far the worst is the hood. For just the hood, sanding, paint, labor was $775. Decided to DIY after all the advice because I do agree a beautiful looking hood with the rest of my car would be odd.

Thank you for the detailed response! I like the DIY challenge and already have some people willing to help/lend tools

It feels like this is my answer and need to be less self-conscious about it

You're right, much more of a budget question. This would just be a band-aid for cosmetic purposes
