Paint and Body Paint bubbling and flaking off front lip of hood

For whatever reason the paint underneath the lip of my hood is bubbling up and is flaking off. At first I thought it was rust but then I realized that it was just peeling off for whatever reason. Anyone know how you can fix this problem?

Also the guy I bought my car from told me coldorado red and torch red are the same colour. But when I touched up some stone chips with the Colorado red it looked a shade darker then the paint on the car?

You have an aluminum hood. What's happening to you is fairly common.

It can be fixed, but you'll have to refinish the hood.

The affected area will have to have all the paint feathered back until it stops pealing. Then a washprimer/acid etch will have to be applied, then primer. Block and sand that smooth and then refinish the hood.

Colorado and Torch reds are definitely different shades of red.
