About a month ago my wife's 2009 Forester got hammered in a hailstorm. After getting an estimate for $3500, I took it to the shop that my adjustor suggested. They said they did paintless dent removal - they take all the interior panels off and fix the dents from the inside. Needless to say, I was a little skeptical, but we just got the car back today, and I have to say you can't tell it ever had a single dent in it! I brought it in spotlessly clean so that I could spot any missed dents when I picked it up, and it is super-glossy Obsidian Black so I figured any botched work would show up like a sore thumb. I walked around the car for about 5 minutes before walking into the shop and I swear it looked brand new! I gotta learn how to do this!

Yep a buddy of mine does that at the body shop he owns. People don't believe him...until they come and pick up their vehicles.

I've got a small, golf ball sized dent on the rear corner of my truck and one in the driver door from a shopping cart. 
I think I'll try this repair process. Should have easy access to it from the underside.

We had a guy doing a demo on a 70 Chevelle door skin that was dented by a forklift fork through the shipping box. This was a BIG dent that looked like no way in heck would in come out with a stud puller and serious fill work. These guys worked on that door for 2 hrs and had it perfect. With the exception of the metal scratched through the primer, it was flawless. Every guy in the club was floored by the fantastic results they produced without marring the primer further.
