My mechanic has seen paint crack due to owners pushing down hard on the crest repeatedly instead pushing down on the painted surface directly over the latch.
Call me anal, but I'd rather wipe off a smudge than look at cracked paint.

I had my entire front end clear bra'd including the mirrors and half of the hood and fenders and so like Randall I just push on the hood below the crest. There are some adjustments that can be made but you just need to give it a gentle push and then wipe the car off. The clear bra helps to avoid as much smudging as without but its still the same idea.
