My partners car has a red bonnet that has been resprayed black to match the rest of the car, it has a small amount flaking on the front. The car isn't worth a great deal so I'm not going to be hugely critical on the job, it seems to me there are two options: 1) Buy a second hand bonnet 2) Spray the area myself The questions really is can I get away with an acceptable paint job treating just the effected area with some spray cans & T-cut?   |

sinse its a small bonnet it could be rattle canned to a decent standard if you can prep it well , and then you would need to sand out all the dust specs and buff it
if you can find a clean matching bonnet for okay money i think it would probably be the best way

I'd have a crack at it with a rattle can - if it doesn't go well you can always look for a replacement.
But for small areas like that I use an airbrush - you can get an acceptable finish quite easily. Depends if you have a local paintshop who will mix a small amount of paint to match (all done with a computer and a scanner so the match can be very good). Use good quality anti-bloom thinners and be prepared to rub back and polish to get a good finish.

Hi, to be honest if you are as you say not going to be critical. I would just brush it in. Pick of all the loose bits of paint, Using a pencil or artists brush, brush in some primer and then some black paint. From a short distance no one will notice, you will because you know it's there.
