My insurance said it could be done paintless dent repair, but that was just them looking at it in normal light. I took it to the body shop I use, he does do paintless dent repair which is what he would have prefered to do, but after looking at the hood under UV light he said there were way too many dents for that, it would be cheaper to replace the hood. Thanks for all the info, I guess I will just need to sit down with the body guy and run the numbers.
