Thin Paint Caused By Overbuffing

Looked at a 3 year old Honda Milano Red single stage (basecoat mixed with clearcoat) paint that appears to have been aggressively over buffed. The spot is on the hood 1 inch by 1/8 inch. Looks like paint is half gone. Rest of hood is fine.



Besides respraying whole hood, what options does the owner have (eg. Dr Colorchip, professional touchup...)?
 
Making a spot-in repair look right on red might be tricky, but with single stage it might work OK if the painter is good and they get the color match right. I've had spot-ins work fine with single stage on the Jag, and even on my b/c vehicles (even though that's apparently a :nono).
 
I really wouldn't consider a spot repair on any panel, but especially not on a hood. That is the first panel that paint starts to fail on. Whoever burned a hole in it needs to pay up for a respray.

Heh heh...every time somebody :nono about that I cringe a little when I walk past the A8 and S8 :nervous2: No problems yet (and that's after many years..) but, well, yeah....



Guess I'm just lucky, or more likely, as I think was Flashtime said, perhaps my vehicles really *are* that pampered. The only spot-ins that *ever* failed for me were the ones done pre-delivery on my Jag. All the ones done by my painters have held up fine :nixweiss Heh heh, hope I don't jinx myself posting stuff like this!
