Default Damage to hood

So like an idiot the other day, I was pulling up the driver side wiper blade arm when I took a chunk of fiberglass out at the top of the hood. I'm thinking about trying this Bondo glazing and spot putty, sanding it and then using touchup paint. Anyone have any other suggestions or have used this product before?? Thanks.

Puffy or any filler sand a paint is all you need to do. This is not a major damage or stress point. I have mixed similar damage on my Pontiac.

Glazing and spot putty are generally lacquer based, and as such shrink. They may or may not adhere well to the substrate and may craze paint in the vicinity. For my money, a much better option would be Metal Glaze from Evercoat -- not cheap, but not as dependent on the environmental conditions:
