problem #2

I'm wondering if it would be economically wise to have my car repainted or just trade it...it has no problems other than the unsightly paint problem on the roof. The car is green. From the other reports, it seems that I could expect the problem to spread to other parts of the car. I love the car but hate the way the paint looks now.

The paint on my hood has that desert land look, where there are all sorts of cracks in the paint that just collects compound if you try to buff it out. not so much a recall factor, but it is something I wont enjoy having to go out of my way to fix.
