This is a black integra hood. It looks like it has some oxidation problem. What is the process to revive the hood?

TYIA

 

Re-paint. The clearcoat is flaking off, not oxidizing.

 

Thats the clear pealing off... Sand it down with 400 Grit Wet, And re-paint it

 

i would use some chemical paint remover......prime....paint

 

sand the hood down with 320....prime it with a 2k primer...then sand that down with 800...now ur ready to paint..

 

Is it hard to re-pain the hood by yourself? I can do all the prep work, but I think it takes some skills to paint it black again.

don't start with 320 it will take you ages. chemicals are your best bet that's a lot of sanding to do when you can let it set and pressure wash it off. and i wouldn't sand primer with 800 either that would also take your forever, 800 is more for panel prepping and light use on runs or sags. if there's no body work and the panel is straight you wouldn't even need to prime it at all just etch your bare metal (a wash primer sprayable from a gun for such a large area) and from there you could wet on wet it. if you do end up priming it wet block it down with 600 then go over it by hand (little circles) to make sure all your blocking marks are out. good luck.
