Class A, dull hood paint, what to do??

Some years Ford had problems with the paint. It seemed they tried to put paint and a clear coat mix. You could wax it to where it really shined but it didn't take long before it started to dull. About all you can do is to sand and repaint then clear coat. Good Luck with the problems. Hope you can get the results you want.

The new paints were called 15 years paints by some. They solved that problem. Old lacquer paints and enamels just do not handle uv and heat well especially from both sides over an engine. They can match the shade ,of black you have on the rest, of the coach.I say shade of black because, if the hood, is that faded, the rest of the coach is faded to degrees. Have it sanded and prepped and repaint the hood. Once the paint starts fading that fast the only real solution is to repaint. Several coats of good clear will protect it for many years, if the base color coats are new.
There is so much new stuff, in the way of paints and uv protection it would pay to talk to a couple of dealers in automotive paints to get the est for what your ideas are on longevity and price. Ferrari and others have a clear paint that is made from what they put on sandpaper( mind is brain dead right now). It won't scratch easily. cost is way up there.

I had the same problem on my F-350. I ignored it until it was bad enough to have to be sanded, primed and repainted. You "might" get away with a clear coat but I wouldn't use any spray can paint. I have found quality in a spray can is good for a couple years at best. . IMO..
"Better call Macco" . :)

I had issues going on with one color on my RV like that, with some gel coat peeling and had it repainted. It made a big difference in the overall effect. Perhaps that might be over kill for you but work good in my case. Buffing and polishing no longer worked on the shine in some areas.
