Jeez man, the way you were making it seem, I thought it was the whole length of the hood. That's nothing a little rubbing compound and touch up pain't can't repair decently.

It would still look a lot better than if you just left it alone.

Not entirely, obviously. But with the combination of that and touch up paint, it will at least blend in a lot better than just having a huge white scratch running down your hood.

Yeah lol Either way, it would have to be sanded down and repainted, which will cost a few pretty pennies if you don't know anybody.

Ain't worth going through all that truouble man. Do what Klinger suggested. Spot putty it, smooth it, and paint it. Cheapest and easiest way.

Depends on how much the paint is... I paid $9 for the little bottle of touch up I got. But it was worth it in the end because I had enough to do my entire bed and tailgate. Well, the scratches at least lol

if you do the touch up paint route, you should put a clear coat over that to make it look better than just the pen touch up paint, they make clearc oat in the pen too.

Dont get me wrong, but isnt that a powerdome hood? That should be fiberglass...
I know around here, O'reillys will match ANY factory paint color and fill spray cans for you for around $15. It would pay for you to mask off that area, fill it in w/ bondo and go to town with the spray can. Dont forget to clear coat it then.
Spraying it on ^ like this ^ looks a LOT better than with those pens...I hate those things.
