has my hood been repainted

[IndianaVX]

well, i am thinking it was just Isuzu trying to get my vx down the assembly line. i have all the factory sticker on underside of hood, right in the middle. i will still try to post a pic or two. i am probably the only one who will ever notice, but im used to that in my woodworking.
i am just too picky........maybe
when the rain stops , ill post a pic

Its been raining in Chicago for like 3 days now, and it supposed to keep coming until at least Thursday, which sucks, cause I wanted to get my VX washed, waxed and cleaned up....looks like I gotta wait.

I've had my hood insert off and the noise mat underneath - the hood is completely painted in all of these areas. Me thinks yours may have been repainted......

When mine was replaced by bodyshop they painted it completely (beneth incert, internal side everything. The original hood from manufacturer was NOT painted benith the insert or noise mat at all. Maybe Isuzu changed prosess from year to year not sure but on my 99 it was like I described and I know for sure it was not painted befor me or damaged in any way I took delivery at 77 miles on odometer.

ok here is what im talkin about,the first pic is of the passenger side, towards front.....second pic is of passenger side front where curve starts to straigten out going towards windshield...........third pic is of same area, edge running parallel to the windshield, running along closesest to windshield,which looks good, nice shine, etc.
the grey spots are not wax....its just that primer looking paint, looks like the red was "fogged over" down passenger side, and front edge, then looks good running up driverside, and along windshield
