find a dent removing place, most bodyshops do it
our malibu got hailed on when someone else owned it, dents all over top hood and trunk, all but one of them came out and you cant even tell where the others were at, only reason we knew is becuase we were told

Most bodyshops in my area outsouce paintless dent removal. It takes a special skillset and tools that most bodymen don't acquire.
Hail estimates are almost always LOW. They hope you cash the check and run with the money. Regardless as to whether you cashed it, you can still get more money. Take the car to a PDR shop and let them handle it. They'll deal with your insurance company.

We just got a check for $1650 from our insurance for what looks like minor damage to us on my wife's 2002 Grand Prix. We are just going to use like $400-$600 for a new hood and keep the rest because somebody backed into her car with a boat and killed the hood not even 1 month after we bought it and we never fixed it. So really it all worked itself out in the end.

i had hail damage on my car less than two months after i got it, took it to the body shop, paid them my $100 deductible. two weeks later all of the dints were removed 90% of the car had been repainted. i even got a brand new grand am as a rental car. i can not remember the final cost but would imaging that it was around 2-3k not including the rental, since there were dints in almost all the panels. it has been almost 4 years later and you can not tell the car has been painted.
