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 secret on painting to look great is great bodywork and then prep and putting a good layer of paint. After the paint is hard, the great looks from finishing the surface and going through the grits and polishing the paint with a DA buffer. The tools for finishing are better than they where just 10 years ago. I am working on large 8 in cast Polyester rods at my shop and I spayed them with catalyzed clear coat some 20 years ago. I am now color sanding them and going up to 2000 grit and then buffing them with supplies I got from Chemical Guys. They also have some tube videos on how to buff or refinish a car paint job.

Really paint can look super with modern paints and polishing of the paint. You have to think of the surface as mountains and valleys and you have to be the guy grading the area to level and then remove each of the scratches with new finer scratches till it buffs so easy. I have been finishing plastic for 43 years in my business and painting cars and motorcycles for over 50 years. Back in the day I used lacquer and went to 600.

I do not think I am too good at bodywork.
Picture of 8 Inch diameter solid cast polyester resin rod 18 inches tall for coffee table legs with glass top that I cast and am just refinishing this week. .
