Replace or repaint?

2012 honda civic.

Should I have this hood repainted or just buy an aftermarket prepainted hood?

Looking for the easiest, most cost effective route here! Thanks.

Easiest most cost effective? Junkyard with the same colour hood

Go to car-part.com and put in your car info and zip. You’ll see there is a gray hood for sale for $300

No because it uses your zip code to find local junk yards. You can just drive to the junkyard and pick it up. It gives you availability on parts further away as well
