My old neighbor hood area where I was living before everyone on that street received a acid splash on their hood of their vehicle. I would like to know if their is a quick fix without repainting the whole hood?

I fear it damaged the paint and the only fix is a new paint job. You may be very lucky and a little buffing or the use of a clay stick might help

A detail shop may offer you some suggestions when they see it or the next step is a good paint shop.
