Well I opened up my Kaneen 3" cowl a little too far and it chipped the rear of the cowl a bit on the wiper arm...

Its maybe a 1 square inch chip in the paint and top layer of fiberglass...

I could easily fill it in with some bondo... But what about paint? I really dont have the $$ to get it professionally painted the stock Vibrant White..
Thinking about doing some sort of graphic or something on the cowl part of the hood...

Maybe a flat black strip on the rear of the cowl? I dunno.

Give me some Ideas!

It shouldn't cost much to paint a small section, esp if you fix it yourself.

If the paint is just chipped, you can feather edge the paint back (each layer of paint shows a 1/2inch halo) Finish is to 320 grit sandpaper, then high build prime it. Bring it to a shop, and they will probably charge you under 200 bucks to paint it really nice.
