given those options, the used one at the junk yard would be my first bet.
Next would be to spray it myself, the hood is tiny and the paint would be relatively cheap.
I have been considering spraying mine with black plasti-dip for something different. Or could go with the vinyl sticker option,

Hey All! Owner of a 2007 Express Cargo and I had a good size piece of paint peel off of my hood last December!
Now I just have a big primer/e-coat spot on my front -
Dealers giving me the "Gravel has chipped your paint and caused your paint to peel"
I've seen gravel chip the paint but it doesn't cause de-lamination ? Paint and primer should be bonded and like one! at least to my non professional view point...
I see a bunch of vans driving around with the same kind of issue...
Also read up on the paint problems from before(90's) with the automotive safety board...link
Anybody else have this going on???
pics?
frustrating...

Funny, I have only seen the white cargo vans with peeling paint. Never on a passenger. I wonder if they have some fast cheap way of making the fleet vans.
The only peeling I have is the rail in the body that the sliding door wheel slides in.

Paint falling off my hood on 2007 Chevy van also. The dealer gave me the same line of bs about small chips letting water get under my paint. It seems to me they are playing stupid about any paint problems going on. I also spoke to gm and they acted like they never heard of this problem and would be back in truck with me. I'm not expecting anything to happen since I received a letter back in June 2013 about fixing my problem but nothing ever happened.

O.k. so I found this while looking up the problem online. It is from a while back, but it is probably still in effect.

I personally may be out of luck since I bought this van used recently and it has been way over the 6 year period. I guess there would be no way for me to prove the problem began prior to me owning the van, but it may help some of you that have had your vehicles since new or if the van is a 2007 or newer. I'll see what I can do about mine.
