2.5 Skyjacker soft ride coils and Rancho 5000s, got back from D.C. Today and the rest of the main parts finished shipping in. Now I just need new lower front sway bar bushings to replace the used ones a friend gave me and rear sway bar links, 1 TC drop, relocation bracket for the rear bc I have an adjustable front already, and another rubber bump stop to fill in one that I'm missing, lol. Unless I'm forgetting something, which I probably am, like always

How much would you think a hood re paint would cost? Do you think itl be worth it?

I had a recent estimate on my hood. It required a few dents be removed, so don’t take this as gospel. The quote was $1150. But don’t forget, this includes the front fenders, because a good shop will want to blend the paint with surrounding body parts.

If I were you, I would take it to someone who details cars and see what they say first.

Just got a quote for 500$ and it's not gonna match the rest of the paint so I'm gonna let it be and focus on my lift and I'll save up for a red bed liner down the road.

Send the pic to the cover company and ask them if they are willing to help cover the cost. Long shot, but it may yield some results.

I got it from an eBay account New a long time ago, but even so I doubt they'd give me something. But it's an idea tho I'll check for the brand now thanks!

He used a car cover that's why. Jeep covers don't do that.
Seriously, I think that is a clear coat and so, and if that is my rig, I will sand it evenly with 1200 grit and clear coat it back.
If I messed it up, then I will call a "maaco" paint shop then.

Can he move the clear coat around buffing with wool and some 3M product? Will that get it hot enough to become fluid and work out?
