On Friday, we had a storm come through with a good 10 min. downpour of hail.
Was at work so I couldnt check much out, untill yesterday when my car was dry.

There are quite a bit of small dents all over. Aside from being pist, I dont know how to approach the situation.
Would it be worth it to get my insurance involved?
Find a collision center and get it estimated and pay from pocket?
Find a dent guy to do it?
Or do it myself?

I'll post pics up to show, I hardly would expect detailed images from my camera though.

worth checking with your insurance agent...

a dent repair type shop might be able to help some- i wonder about the hood though. if they tell you that they cant do the hood, just take the car to a good body shop for an estimate (that will tell you whether you want insurance!)

if the car lives outside, get a car cover- a good cover can even help with hail damage (although nothing will completely protect if the hail is large enough).

A good dent repair guy can work miracles.

I have a guy here that lets me watch him work. These guys are artist.

They can work the back of a dent with a spoon, or, if the back of the dent is not accessible, they glue a little knob to the dent and use a slide hammer to make the dent go "out" instead of "in". Then they use a teflon dowl and tap it back to perfect.

The key is making sure they are good at what they do. Ask for references. If they are good, they are probably employed by local dealerships to fix dings on new or used cars.

I keep my car garaged, the only time its out is when im at work. This happend while I was at work.
Can't get a picture of it that shows any damage, I even used artificial lighting and different angles of the camera.
The hood has a few good sized ones, and the fenders have smaller dings.
The doors have bearly anything, but the trunk has alot of small indents.
They arn't dents really, you probably couldn't measure the depth on the biggest one. They are visable though, enough to make me lose sleep (not kidding).

Man o man bro. I feel yah and im sure dent removers do wounders but a friend of mine had that on his RSX Type S and it looked horible he was from NH. I simply couldn't look at his car.

My advice is trade it in for another one if you can afford it honestly. That will be an eye soar 4 eva and im pretty sure den't guy wont be able to get each and every single one. Some really fine ones will stay there.

Just a PIA and most likely will be expensive as well since it's 100s of dents.
