Did you repaint it? IIRC we had the same issue, burned up paint on the trunk, top and hood. I just repainted my top surfaces and it looks a lot better, but yours with the snowflakes is much nicer. Mine is really drab...
When I got it the hood looked like this:
Than I stripped it to the metal, and shaker canned three coats of primer, and three coats of satin black.
Came out like this:
A respray is planned for the same color, professionally though. Ill handle the little ding on the hood and dented panel above the bumper, prep it.
I heart my factory color matched Snowflakes. Just wish they were fifteens.
Hood came out lookin super nice. How did you manage an even covering with the spray can?
Satin black seems to be a fairly cooperative color out of a rattle can.
I just happened to find a whole unopened gallon of RML grey at my friendly household hazardous waste center (aka dump) that almost perfectly matched this hideous color. It's just a wee bit blue ( actually nicer) but hardly noticeable when the car is dusted as it is by the dirt road we live on. If I find the energy, I may repaint the sides with it, but just doing the upper panels saved 90% of the masking.
Actually, no- if I have that much energy I will repaint the car in something lighter. It's hell on wheels having a dark car in Florida. Also, as the big bumpers are painted with this miserable color, it makes the whole car look like a whale.

I pulled the hood and laid it flat on a workbench, so there would be no runs, and than lots of wetsanding inbetween coats.
