repainting the hood with stripes?

washing the car today i noticed i have a horrible chip on my hood...passenger side about in the middle front to back

no clue how that got there, its down to the metal



i have been thinking about stripes, and this may be a good opportunity to get painted stripes

what cost do you think i would be looking at with getting the entire hood repainted and getting stripes like these painted on



or should i go with the boss type stripe

I wouldn't repaint the hood just because of the chip, they happen. Use a pen type touch up paint to make it less noticeable, base coat and clear. With some fine sand paper and compound you can make it un-noticeable. If you do want to repaint and get stripes, the first ones look best IMO.

Just got a chip on my hood this weekend and also ordered Dr. Colorchip. I'll post the results after I do my touch up.
