You are probably past your bumper to bumper warranty, but take it to your dealership. The paint **might** still be covered or repaired by the dealership as a goodwill measure. ---

If dealership balks, any well-recommended body shop will provide some options, cost vs appearance. Are you doing the common sense paint maintenance? Rinse dust off w/garden hose once a week; soap and warm water wash once a month or when very dirty; wax every 6 months. ---

It is not rust as the hoods are made out of aluminum . It is aluminum corrosion caused by improper prep at the factory before painting. Chrysler has had a real issue with this . Sometimes they will cover this under the perforation warranty which is like 75000 miles I think . I had a 2014 Grand Caravan that did this and they gave me a new hood and painted it for free and it had like 60000 miles on it . ---
