So I'm down to one paint booboo to deal with before I deliver the customer and I ask my neighbor, who is a car guy and knows how to do this, to help me install the hood on this 64 Malibu. I give him two bolts and I take two bolts. Not realizing it till it was too late, I gave him the two longer bolts. When he snugged up the real bolt ( which should have been a short bolt) being very sharply pointed OEM bolt it punched right through the hood skin. He felt really bad but it was my fault for not sorting the bolts into long and short.
Anyway, the photos show where the damage is on the hood and after it sanded down the immediate area and hammered the metal down.
I don't plan to weld up the hole since I have no access to the underside because of the hood structure to be able to planish the weld.
What steps would you take to repair the finish?
