metal repair of hood, question for those who know about bodywork Options

[914 RZ-1]

I was using a DA sander on my hood. Lots of layers! Wondering if anyone can tell me if the hood was repaired correctly. It looks pretty good, but I'm wondering what the green area in the photo is? Bondo? Primer? Another color hood? There is also what appears to be filled cracks at lower right. I'm wondering if these are dents/creases that were repaired and bondo'd over.
I'd like to paint the car and want to make sure the paint will look good; the paint over the area over the cracks was a little cracked, which is why I sanded it down.
BTW, the car was originally silver and is currently white.

The different colors are different bondos. There are light filled bondos and there are strand fiberglass filled bondo to help falling put. The more hardener that is put in bondo the faster it goes off and the color changes intensity. Green hardner is the green you see. Not sure what the cracking is. I do see that you are up very close on the hood with the cracked shot. I would of started with removing the hood so sanding dust did not get in the car. I worked on panels off of the car on a table. Are you going to paint the full car or just the hood? Are you going to spray it yourself?


Bodywork is an art form. You can get ideas on how to do it right on Utube but the really good guys have years of practices. The idea of a new used hood is one that I have
Used on some cars if there is any rust because there has been a good supply in California. Front hoods are harder to get because a lot of front crashes. You are local to the biggest supply of body parts in the USA. What you have is no virgin but it may not be that bad.
