On the hood, under the carb stud is now a spot that the paint cracked and is separating. I'd like to fill it in and paint it.

But what do I fill it with? Paint drys out flat and shows the hole. I'd like to get it filled in, then sand and paint it and color sand, etc.

Thanks.

I'm guessing air cleaner stud?

Given the number of views and no answers, I'm guessing nobody is clear what you're talking about.

Yea, pictures are best... will try tonight.
But it is simple. Paint in the center of the hood is chipping off the hood.
What do I apply to serve as a base for the paint ?

Easy Mike

First, replace the over long stud with one of the correct length.

Second, scuff sand the mark, shoot some rattle can primer over it, then semi-flat black.

Crack is on the top side of the hood. The (supposed to be) pretty red side.

Easy Mike

Repairs are the same with the exception of attempting to match the paint.

Technically, you should be finding damage on both sides of the hood.

Here's what the paint crack looks like:

I'm worried that just spraying primer + top coat will not be thick enough to match
the existing paint level.

Yeah it's gonna need more than a buffer that's for sure. If u can afford it, I'd take it to a pro. If not, than I'd visit the body and paint forum for advice.

You feather the existing color coat. That's not your problem. Your problem will be matching your red.
