That looks pretty good. I thought I was OK but got a chip on one of the front corners. Primer, paint and clear will build up a bit and the clearance changes with hood position. Suggest you run a feeler around that area while you open and close the hood to see what room you've got. Maybe the thickness of a business card or a little more.

Also scribe your hinge position on the other side for future reference.
