 Subject: hail damaged car/paintless dent removal advice needed
 
 Greetings Alfisti!
       Anyone have experience with hail damaged cars? >>
Had heavy hail damage while still living in Texas (baseball to grapefruit 
size) and the bodyshop replaced the hood, trunk, and roof.  Paintless dent 
repair was fairly common there, and I visited a shop to check out their work. 
 The old guy was a real artist and had a backlog of about 6 months!  My 
insurance company warned me that the results depend 100% on the skill of the 
technician, and even then should be done only on minor dents, as they had 
found that often the sheet metal was stretched and still a little wavy if the 
dent was "big".  Your hail damage would probably fall into that range.  I'd 
advise visiting the shop and checking out their work.
