Any recommendations? Clear coat has failed on the truck lid. On the roof and hood, the paint is cracking and chipping away.
Anyone have experience with shops in the Los Angeles area?

Hoping to get out for under $1000 but I'm sure it'll be more.
Second option is just getting the roof redone and go carbon fiber boot and bonnet if the paint shops want too much

So I went for a couple quotes today... ouch

$2500-$4000 for a full repaint. Looks like I might be going carbon fiber

Wrap the roof.

Do your own paint prep and ask them for a quote for a color matched paint on hood and trunk.

Or picked up used body panels(Can be a4 or s4)

The roof has too many bare spots. A wrap wouldn't be the right fix. Ordered some single stage urethane. Going to paint the roof myself. Then I'm buying a carbon fiber hood and trunk. All in about $1500. Plus I run a roof rack so even if it isn't the best paint job it'll be disguised by that. And with some good prep and nice wet sand after it shouldn't be awful
