Default hail damage

anyone have their f150 hit with hail? I did the other day. I have 3 small dings, 2 on the hood and one on the frnt fender area. now, I hit hail driving on the way to work and as it sat in the parking lot. I believe I recived them while I was driving. I hit the storm doing 55 and ended slowing down to 35. didn't have any place to hide under. now, most other vehicles got hail damage from sitting in the parking lot. a lot of them looked like golf *****. I think if it wasn't for me hitting hail while driving, I would have any dings. the dings arnt even that bad.

If you're not worried about it then no big deal, but I imagine as long as no paint is chipped or there aren't any creases it would be an easy fix if and when you do decide you can't live with it.

Yes, they've been doing it on aluminum hoods for decades. I had PDR done on a door ding recently, the guy that did it said aluminum PDR repair is the same as steel other than requiring about twice as many manipulations due to the greater resistance of the metal. It didn't cost me anymore though.
