I just bought a second hand Santa Fe from an individual. The day we bought it
was rainy, and we didn't notice a LOT of the paint damage. It really looks
bad, as the clear coat is peeling off and the paint is fading. More afraid of
rust on the faded places than the looks. It also had a dent on the passenger
side trim, so will need to replace that in time. Paint is the #1 thing right
now. It will require a lot of pre-work, as the clear coat is thick and will
need sanding to make the paint job smooth.

I can't provide an answer as to cost, but a local body and paint shop can. As for the danger of rust, as long as the main paint coat is not peeling, there should be no rust issues on the painted surface.
If the clear coat is indeed peeling (and not just worn through), this complicates the paint process, as it'll be necessary to actually strip the paint before repainting. If this isn't done, it'll continue peeling after the new paint job, and peel the new paint off as well.

How big is a box? There is no simple answer.

You have to decide just how much the car is worth to you and how much
you want to invest. You can go to a low price outfit like Maaco or
you can go to a custom shop and spend thousands. I've seen cars
spruced up for $500, but a really top job with clearcoat is many times
that. Cheap jobs are usually just a coat or two of enamel. Better
jobs are multi coats of color and clear coat.
If you stay with the original color, you can get away skipping door
jambs, trunk interior and the like.
Or you can get away very cheap like a neighbor did some years back.
Can of Rustoleum and a brush.

same make, model, and approximate year as mine have the same thing. It
looks like a paint defect to me, but it didn't show up until well after my
warranty ran out -- meaning after 60,000 and 5 years (I bought mine used).
Like yours, mine looks pretty good in the rain, then looks awful after it
dries. You didn't say what year your vehicle is or what color.

I don't know the cost. But, I do have a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe, 3.5L, color

P.S. I probably should have explained that it is definitely not salt
deposits on my vehicle -- it just looks like salt deposits. It is some
problem with the paint. I do love the vehicle however, and I have had it
since about 2008. It is not worth enough for me to want to have it
repainted. Plus, it has about 120,000 miles on it now and my guess it that
it is due to conk out sometime soon.

My inlaws recently had their Santa Fe painted at a local Maaco due to

failure of the original clearcoate. Maaco did a much better job than I
would have expected for $1500. I don't know how long it will last but
supposedly it has a 5-year guarantee.

are also a franchise so you may find some better than others so do
check them out. That is not a bad price if it is a decent job.

A regular shop would have charged at least 4 times what I paid, but that of course, would not have made sense for an older vehicle, unless it was a classic
