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.

Lead is a whole art in is self. Look on Utube.

Also as I said great video on how to do body work.

When I was a kid at 16 in 68, my 1st car was a 58 VW and it ha 4 dented fenders. At that time there where guys in Los Angeles called Gypsy Body men that would come up to you and fix your car right on the corner. Lots of bondo and then primer so you could not tell just how bad the work was. $25. Back in 69 got 3 fenders done bad. As I got older I saw how the good body shops pulled the dents and used just little bondo and used water to see how the body work looked when wet. That or painted the car and then went back and did it over till it was perfect. The truth is a show paint job is massaged over and over till it is puss. Later I got new fenders for my VW for $20 each

The difference between wood and bondo is wood has grain and softer spots. Tooling is done on uniform material. Some time on special wood but better on tooling plastic. No grain to deal with. Epoxy or urethane tooling material. Bondo is filled Polyester resin with chemicals to get it to go off (harden) faster. Much like surfboard resin with fillers.
