How many have had to have their hood painted?

My bumper and hood look like $hit after only 5k miles. I always try to avoid highway driving, no dirt roads, stay WAY behind semi trucks, etc. I just finished using up a whole stick up touch up paint. It looks like a big chocolate chip cookie. I can't figure if the paint is to hard or what? I will definitly have to repaint the front end before selling it .

I have had the front of mine painted once. Luckily I got hit with a piece of who knows what off a truck and gouged the hood, so I got mine done through insurance.
That was 10K ago and it needs it again. Yes mitsu paint sucks but part of the problem is thats its aluminum and paint doesnt bond as good. Thats what my body shop told me.
Now that all your spots are filled in maybe someone could buff them out for you. Maybe it wont look so bad. Good luck.
