Paint Chips spreading
What do I do about this? I can't image this is normal. The chips started out small and spread like crazy. The car was pristine when i bought it a few months ago.

Your best bet would probably be to repaint it... A temporary solution would be touch up paint but you will still be able to see it

What should i expect to pay to fix something like that?

I couldn't tell it was repainted, usually I can spot repainted cars. Maybe they just repainted the hood? I can't find over spray anywhere.

Probably just repainted the hood because of clear coat failure or something like that

There is another member with an IP coupe, and hers did the exact same thing. Should only cost a couple hundred for a solid repaint.

Needs to be repainted. I don't think you could successfully touch that up and make it look flawless.

You could put fake vents on top of the problem areas. Adds 5hp and vtec yo.
