Default Hail damage

We had a pretty good hail storm a couple of weeks ago...I could not get my 2016 screw lariat out of the storm in time. I have about 8-10 very small dents in the hood that can only be seen with the perfect light and angle. I have looked on the net and YouTube for different repair methods but not sure what to do with the hood being aluminum...please advise.

If they Really are as small as you say? Pdr. F150 hoods have been aluminum since '97. It's nothing new to pdr guys.

We had a guy with a 17 jeep grand Cherokee come in last week saying the same thing. Thought he had 8-10 dents. Turned out to be 30-40 once he was in the right light

Hard to say for out of pocket price. Pdr prices vary per area. If you turn it in to insurance, it will be your deductible obviously.

Well pdr can run from 50 to 500 per panel with hail damage so I would find someone in your area to give your truck a good look over to and start with a estimate. Odds are you will find more than you have noticed
