    I looked at the video - Have to figure how to do it without buying gallons of material only to use a drop. Thanks for the link - appreciate it.

    It looks like the paint flaked off. I am not a paint guy, but if you want that to look decent, might need to repaint the hood

    But if you want a hack job, could buy some bondo, fill in the holes, then touch up paint on top?
