See if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the hood. Aluminum? I'm not at home to check.

No sanding needed. Next day use some polishing compound to smooth out your touch-up--then don't forget to wax.

On both our Lexus, the Lexus touch-up paint matched perfectly and dried fast. I can't give an opinion on any other brand that might be available--if there is any other.
