Then I cut a piece of sheet metal, which I also rough sanded, and placed the fiberglass resin on it, and placed it on the back side of the hole. In your case this would be under the hood. Then pressed it until the resin came out from the top side. I placed addition resin on the top, and then sanded.

For larger holes, they also sell these fiberglass sheets. So you can just place the fiberglass sheet on top of the area your repairing, with the resin, and repair it that way. This might be the way to go in your application, if you want a more appealing underside of the hood.

Thats the methods I've used, dunno if its the 100% right way. But it worked.

Best to let the body shop you get your hood painted, just handle the job. Or leave the holes from the hood pins, I think they look cool
Well i'm wanting my hood painted black, i was thinking of filling the holes in and then plastic dip it black till the time comes to get the roof and hood painted black, i guess you could say its driving me crazy being like that
