~ No, because under the hood there is no top coat, on our cars, only paint, if by top coat you meant clearcoat. I did try to fix the "buff burn " at the nose of the hood on the Aero-Blue, but I should not have used any primer. When I feathered it, the edge of the primer showed, so I have to try again. This is a paint burn about 3 inches long right at the nose. I will remove the chrome emblem this time when I re-visit it. Then attempt to fis the scuff marks on the bumper cover next.
