IMHO, a few years ago, I tried to have the hood on my Mustang repainted, this is an ALUMINUM panel, and the cost was $1300 for the hood, and an additional $200 if the paint had to be blended in at the fenders. I did the repair myself with some matching Duplicolor spray paint. my point if your car is new and expensive go for the body shop, if it used and older, go with a DIY, or someone handy with cars.
Send me a PM if you would like to discuss over the phone, I have painted 9 cars (full frame up paint), I MAY be able to help. There is another person, The Bumper Guy (?) who specializes in bumper repairs that may also be able to help.
