The short answer, no. However do consider a few things. 1. Your paint should be put in in at least 2 stages, a color coat, and then a clear coat. The paint should be properly bonded or adhered to the entire panel. Given this, it will take a very hard --- LIGHTWEIGHT object to break the paint away in a chip and not dent the panel.

2. Was the panel dirty before the hail hit it? If so, then there is an ever so slight possibility that your paint could have been scratched, but chipped? Again, no.

3. The panel is metal, metal bends and the paint, can flex. But only to a degree. If the metal bends beyond the paints ability to flex, then it will crack to mimic a circle or wave caused by this flex.

Put simply, you just aren't going to get a piece of ice to knock paint off and not have a dent that shows transfer of energy from the hail stone . All this is given the paint being in good condition. But, physics tells us that we have to have a transfer of energy of the mass of the hail stone as well. The metal on vehicles are not as thick as they used to be, do they dent more readily. So, your long answer is also, no.

What is the Average cost of small auto body repairs?

Average small auto body repairs depend on the dents...... Example: if you have a coin sized dent it could take up to 15 to 20 minutes to fix. 5 or 10 minutes to final prep & then prime. If your average bodyman makes $15-25/hr, and add materials, you could pay up to $30 to $35 per coin sized dent. This cost of the dent repair is reduced if they fix the entire car. It takes about 12 hours to fully prep & prime a car (without dents). This could cost about $450 with out the paint. Add the final coat maybe another $240 using basic generic basecoat clear coat. Average paint job (without dents) could be $600 to ???? $2500 depending on type of paint.


How do you repair your dents auto?

It depends on the size + type of the dent. If the dent doesn't have a distinct crease it can be popped out many times with a suction cup, tapping around the outside edges. If it is a more serious dent, it will probably be necessary to get behind the dent and pick it out. Sometimes you can make a small hole in the side or bottom of the panel and pick it out with a pry bar, filling the hole with a plug when finished.

How do you remove a dent from a Toyota corrolla drivers side door?

Depending on how large it is and if the metal is creased or not, you can simply remove the dent by using s large suction cup and pull it out. If there is an actual crease in the dent, then other methods would have to be used.. Tapping it out from the inside by removing the inner door panel then shaping and finally filling and repainting. OR you could call a local Paintless dent repair company and let them decide the best way. Good Luck.

What is the best way to repair a dent in my vehicles door without needing to have paint work done?

To repair a dent in your vehicle door without damaging your paint or needing paint work done afterwards there are two options that may work. Depending on the size of the dent present you may be able to use a suction cup type dent puller which utilizes a sticky hardening glue like substance to attach a suction cup like device on the dent and then uses pressure to attempt to pop out the dent. This process results in no damage to the paint or drilling into the dent necessary. If the dent is larger you may consider removing the door panel and while setting the door panel on soft padding using a rubber mallet to gently bang out the dent from the other side which could also repair the dent without paint damage.

What is the best way to remove a dent from a car?

There are a number of easy do-it-yourself ways to repair a dent that have worked for people. The best method largely depends on the type of dent. One way is to use dry ice or a hair drier on the dent. This can remove small dents. Another way is to use a toilet plunger to pull out a dent. A third way is to take a hammer to the inside of a dent and gently tap it out. When using any of these methods, one must inspect for paint damage and repair that as well with some matching touch up auto paint. Otherwise, the paint damaged spots can begin to rust.
