FIRE
No fire that I know of. The inside of the hood looks original. But the question does point to something...
I did get a used hood for the last paint project because it was cheaper than fixing the dings and rust in the existing hood. The fact that there's a replacement hood and the same plague is occurring on metal that was previously with the car... this says something.
PREP
I'm candidly not sure what was done in regards to prep work. The body shop does all kinds of sport cars from Lambos to VWs to Porsches. And they do both new and classic projects so they have experience with "old metal." The work I saw while looking over the projects they had in-house was all good. They also came with a recommendation from a good friend. When I discussed painting the car with the manager, I trusted they knew what they were doing. Perhaps not. I'm willing to give them a chance to make it right.
This time, I'll definitely want to see the hood when stripped.
