Am I Fooked?! Options

[Random_Stranger]

Ok, today going to school, a spark plug shot out and did a good number on my hood. Got a nice bump as a momento to scar my car and never forget this day. I got the problem situated, but now when I drive, my vision is obstructed by that nasty bump. For a dinger such as that, any recommendations on how I can fix this? I wouldn't mind so much if it was dented in, but it is dented out. Or am I seriously going to have to cough up another hood in the future and suffer until then? It's about a size of what a spark plug would do, no bigger than a dime in fully diameter in a convex manner.

Same thing happened to me. I never thought to check the plugs when I bought the car, just to make sure they were screwed in tight. So the plug shot out of the second cylinder from the left, but lucky for me it hit that skeleton thing under the hood. It still did a number to the hood. All I can think of to do is lay something down on the hood, some kind of blanket or something, and try to push it back down. I wouldn't forcefully beat it, since then you could put several downwards dents in your hood. Sounds like you've got the right idea though, trying to focus on the swap before a tiny little ding. Hope you get it lined out though!
