The hood and trunk are sun damaged. Is there anyway to repair this or do I have to get the car painted.

Paint job. However, the paint does not keep the car from getting down the road!

Depending on how bad the damage is, you may get away with a cut and polish, but as the Doc says, it wont stop you getting from A to B.
