After my accident sunay with the hood at the show, I need to do something.
1) Sell the car, (which i really want to do and get a nice GTI, of Jetta, but nothing i see yet)
2) Buy new hood $300 to much
3) Paint the center black which cover the dent (pic below, for example)

At the show my hood shock broke at the bottom and the hood went on to the windshield because of the wind, so there is some cracks in the previous body work, not counting the tons of dents, chips, and terrible paint

If i fix the dent then sand a 1000 grit it should be hidden,

I dunno Steve.......If you're gonna paint ur hood black, then you should paint the whole hood black, then your roof and your trunk.

I can't see you driving a GTI....ha ha....that's just me.

Hey Steve the hood is not that bad it can be fix the right way. Why cover it up with black paint just have it fix later. Ruben is right black will show up much more if your just going to paint it and not fix the damage.

Actually, Im going to try to find a Corrado VR6 SLC 1992-1994 for Trade or purchase in the price range of 4k-6k.

If you're keeping the passat and want to fix the hood, fix, don't paint it black

just my opinion.

But if you're set on a corrado...oooooo baby. now ya talking.

I don't know, If i keep the passat. Im going to leave it alone for a while until I gain some capital to make a more solid decision on selling or repairing.

The Corrado above is no longer in question, to much money for a nice looking headache.
