hello everybody!
on wednsday i was at work and at around 7:00 there was a hail storm, now the :censored::censored::censored::censored:ed up part is that my so loved csvt was in the parking lot, and well yea you can imagine how it ended up, and even more :censored::censored::censored::censored:ed up is that the insurance did not cover it, so im riding in my csvt with the roof, hood, trunk, and sides all with dents there are over 500 little dents. the storm lasted about 10 mins. now my concern is how am i going to get rid of them dents, any opinions will help. thanks

You must have crappy insurance cause my neighbors car is bad from it last night and they are covering his car.
 
There are dent-removal companies out there that supposedly can remove dents without the need to repaint. After a major hailstorm like you just had, they should be pretty obvious in their local advertising. Unfortunately if you have over 500 dents, it might be cost prohibitive to get them fixed. I'm assuming you don't have comprehensive insurance on your car?
 
Ouch that sucks, thats the reason I have full coverage on all 3 of my cars, I dont care that they are all paid for, full coverage is worth it.
 
I want to fix it myself, I have a little experience with painting and have an 80 gallon compressor that puts out 15 cfm at 100psi and the devilbiss finishline 3, but never done bodywork, if someone can tell me what I need I will really apreciate it. I hate seeing all those ugly dents on my car. Thanks

Does that mean you're willing to beat the dents out and repaint if needed or were you hoping there was an air powered dent remover?
 
That sucks...

My dad, also in Fayetteville, almost got hit by this on his back deck:

Yes I'm willing to hammer out the dents and repaint, but what type of tools do I need. I agree hail sucks. I will post pics tomorrow when I get to a computer, right now I'm using my phone and it won't let me upload pics from where. Most of the hail was the size of the one in the pic ibrent uploded, some bigger and some smaller
 
yes I'm willing to anything just need to know what kind of tools do I need, I just hate looking at the car and see it like that and will post pics tomorrow, right now I'm using my phone and it won't let me upload pics from where

Thats small compared to some of them I have seen around here, Thank god for my garage:cool:
 
This happened to my father's Camry many years ago, just hundreds of small dents over every horizontal surface. You should really look into a PDR place (paintless dent repair), as he took it to one of them and you could never tell anything had happened to the car afterwards, plus it preserves your factory paint, which can never really be duplicated. Of course, he only paid a small deductible, so I don't know how much it actually cost. Just something to consider before going to town on your original paint.
 
Well I wrecked my Csvt and am in the middle of fixing it. I bought a parts car and have an extra hood ryanblacksvt gave me. I could use an extra set of hands, and you could use some extra parts... sound good? My cars are in palmetto so you dont have far to travel
