Someone smashed my hood in and I just got it painted, I stopped by to check and saw it with the emblem off and it looks so slick.

How hard is it to fill in that hole after its been painted? can it be done without repainting a section?

Would like some pics of, some before/afters would be nice as well. thanks

You're going to want to do it before painting. Do not bondo the hole. Over time with the humidity, the bondo will expand and raise up. This in turn cracks the paint.

Weld the hole and smooth it out. After, paint the hood.

+1. Weld, grind, sand, glaze, prime, paint.

It's already been painted, They just need to align my bumper and put the emblem on.. I guess i'm too late?

Alright, shouldn't take too long for another idiot to smash into my hood as it's happened twice this year already. I'll wait till next time, appreciate the advice.
