Interesting. I had a small dent in the hood of our Jag which was right behind the bracing. The PDR guy used by the Dealership looked it over and said it couldn't be removed via PDR, but that he'd have to drill and pull it, then fill it and paint it.
This
wizard was very skilled and did some truly invisible work on another car of mine, so I trust he knew what he was talking about.
I found a perfect hood, same color, on CL for $200, so I went witrh that as opposed to pulling, filling and painting which was quoted at $500.
So, I guess it all depends on the dent, location, skill of the
wizard, etc.
