The touch-up is pretty bad and there are a few air bubbles and still uncorrected water marks. They offered to re-wrap it, and that will give an opportunity to get the touch-up done better. My questions is, is it worth doing (can the touch-up be done well?), or is this hood already a repaint?

This is what the end result was:
It's hard to tell from the photos. Some touch up can actually look pretty good. That said, nothing looks as good as fresh smooth paint (with XPEL on it of course). If you're unhappy with the install and they're willing to re-do it for you, then go for it.
