Dime sized chip in hood

Hello, I’m Pete from the Car Genius team at RepairPal. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this concern on your Nissan Altima. A dime sized chip in the hood (in the paint I assume) is usually caused by a rock chip to where a rock has nicked the paint. In most cases you can usually visit an auto body/paint shop and they can usually repair it with some touch up paint and can look it over to make sure there is no risk of paint peeling or clear coat/finish concerns. They can also let you know if your paint is at risk of future peeling or chips and any other types of paint repairs that may be needed. If you need more advice, or have any further questions about your vehicle, we’re here to help. Just give us a call at 877-913-1554 where we will be happy to assist!
