i tried to do that too but it takes considerably more than 10x longer if you have extensive damage, and i had it bugged a few times where i couldn't get some modules to repair individually: it simply did nothing ... so i had to resort to 'repair all' anyway.

It depends hardly on the ship and which paintjob you have. The federal ships and the imperial ships look always as brand-new i think.
But the Python takes good visible wear and tear at the paintjob.
The Anaconda is atm the only Ship that takes also visible damage to the Hull. After a heavy fight with some damage she looks very scratched. I have no screens right now, i'm at work but i can later add some pics here.
Edit: okay seems that the imperial ships or at least the clipper are now affected by paintjob damage

Your shields will stop bullets, lasers, plasma, torpedoes, etc. I do not recall anyone ever saying they would stop dust and micro-meteor impacts.

It's a graphical bug and one that's especially noticeable on my Asp, since I can see the paint on the retrothrusters from the cockpit. During hyperspace jumps, the wear is visible but reverts to the usual non-scratched state as soon as I pop back into normal space.
Actually, they have sorted that one with new paints, so, unfortunately not now an accurate analogy.
I have opposite problem - very little wear and tear is evident. I would love to fly around in a battle scarred ship.
I think the paint jobs implementation have meant wear and tear visibility is almost non existent (nothing like earlier concepts etc.)
If I come back to a station with 1% hull, but have pristine paint - that just does not make sense.

Whoa wait a minute? They fixed the paint damage? Like my Cobra can actually look busted again?
The only practical difference between a micro-meteor and a bullet is that one of them was fired at you on purpose.
It's due to the sub-atomic quantum particles that being out of phase can pentrate your shields and happily munch on your bodywork creating wear and tear on your presious. Prolonged exposure can also cause the lavvy to malfunction leading to all kinds of unpleasantness, so repair often.
Edit -and don't forget to Wax on and Wax off.
