recently got some gunk splashed up on underside of hood which appeared to come off serpentine belt. When trying to take off with a little grease/wax remover, the paint actually came off down to the white SMC substrate! Only leak I could find was from the oil pan gasket, which I have replaced. Did not think engine oil would remove the underhood black paint, nor did I think the wax/grease remover would do it either! Any ideas on what other chemical from underhood would eat away the paint, and any ideas/suppliers on underhood dress up murals/items to cover up the damaged paint area. Now that it needs to be refinished, I am considering whether to do something custom on the underside of the hood center area. Ideas/thoughts?
Thanks

There is no telling what wore out the paint....could of been years of something, or could of been something before you owned it and its just now showing up.
I am not wild about hood liner stuff unless its a show car...color match paint for drivers is my idea.
YMMV.
Good luck
