hail dent removing

[Zsolt]

I am not a body man myself, but I do have some experience. I have
repaired some hail damaged cars before, and the best way to go is to use
a 2 stage putty on the sanded paint's surface. You should not grind the
paint off to metal, just sand it. Putty will feather nicely when primed
and painted.

I don't know much about the paintless dent removal, but chances are the
dents may be be too small and too many to make it worth while. You may
also end up with an uneven surface, where some parts may protrude while
others are still indented.
