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.

one of the downfalls for having an aluminum hood is that it's easily dented. it hailed here one night and even the little pieces of ice will leave its mark on the hood. it can be repaired but yea it will need repainting too.
