Default Scabby Bonnet

hey, just needing some basic advice,

what would you do!!!

My bonnet has aquired a mass of stonechips on the nose and they pretty much cover the whole bonnet. Which would be cheaper/more advisable?

1. A new bonnet
2. respray (metallic black)

anyone done this before? how much am I gonna get stung for?
I originally was gonna go for a full respray and was advised to budget around £1000 for it. Does this seem right?

cheers guys

If the rest of the cars paintwork is in good nick I'd get just the bonnet done.
I got quoted 150 to have the bonnet resprayed.

thanks for that guys, good info.

Think i'll try some dr colour road rash first before getting a respray, might as well spend £50 to see if it works and if not its getting sprayed anyway!
