Ed,

I am so sorry to hear of this. Makes me feel really angry!

From my past experience of vandalism, they will need to spray paint the adjacent panels too (partially) just to help the newly resprayed front hood blend with the front wings. Otherwise, your front hood will look new and the paintwork on the adjacent panels will look ever so slightly different in sunlight due to oxidation, fading etc especially considering your car is nearly 2 years old (if I remember correctly)...

Best of luck with it. Don't worry, when the bodyshop have finished with it, it will look like nothing ever happened to it.
