I was also thinking of the long, heavy hood on the 99 Mustang - that you have to prop the hood open, then drop the heavy hood down to latch it, sometimes twice - whether that greatly effects the paint with that constant flex and shock of doing that -In my limited automotive paint experience paint cracks or 'spider webs' on painted metal parts is likely paint that is too thick, I would sand it down to the factory primer if possible, some take it down to bare metal then apply etching primer, when removing the paint don't over heat the metal skin, it is thin and can warp.
JMO.
I have always wanted a place to work on my car and do stuff like that - have lived in a mobile home park with parents, then my condo for so many years - was looking in to how expensive to rent a storage place to work on a car - outrageously expensive in So Cal -I got a Fuji two stage turbine sprayer from amazon, and that will do a nice job on a hood. I painted a Jeep almost perfect. It will cost you almost five hundred.
not touching that one MikeI painted my rear in black POR15 about 15 years ago.
It’s still in great shape. Would do again, but I don’t need to.
I would recommend adjusting the latch correctly and setting the hood down carefully and applying closing force with both hands flat on the front of the hood.I was also thinking of the long, heavy hood on the 99 Mustang - that you have to prop the hood open, then drop the heavy hood down to latch it, sometimes twice - whether that greatly effects the paint with that constant flex and shock of doing that -

FOR SURE, well, unless she is really hot.....LOLIf you have to "slam" it something is wrong.
I hate it when someone slams the door on my car or truck, you will get out and walk!!!
if she's hot she has two chancesFOR SURE, well, unless she is really hot.....LOL
And every time the hood is dropped hard, the latch might move down a little.You shouldn' have to do that. You can adjust the latch up a tad so it catches easier. On my 2003 GT that i purchases new, you just had to let the hood down to about 4-6" away from close and let it drop once and it would catch.
