I think it needs to be straightened and then repainted.
The dent's creese is too sharp, the paint will come off when bent back into shape.
My 2 Cents

That's a total loss. You should start parting out the car now.

You probably looking at 300 to fix and paint that hood. The trick is matching the color. I have a friend that does body work and he can probably get the dent smoothed out and puttied at least so the dent doesn't bother you. Then you could buy a bra (for the car).

It won't necessarily be hard, but to repair and refinish the entire hood will be a alot more than $300. At least for a job that will look good during the day and from less than 30 ft. away.
