Default Paint on hood is fading

I would like to know the best way to resolve this. is it better(cheaper) to get a new hood of the same color from another jeep that someone is parting out? Repaint the whole car? or just get a paint job on the hood?

Definitely cheaper to find one of the same color. What color is it?

Is it just starting to fade or already past the point of no return? You'll be surprised what waxing or a light rubbing compound can do. Even if you think it's too late waxing might help.

Check your roof too. Although out of sight, out of mind.
