Small dents on trunk lid

Ever since i had my g (been 2 years now) i have had small dents on my trunk lid, i really never cared before, but now more and more when i wash it and the sun reflects of the trunk lid, it looks worse and worse every time....


Anyone got any suggestions on how to fix it??

I want to avoid buying a new trunk lid, because imma have to go through the whole process of matching the paint...


Thanks....

Bring it to bodyshop, some do paintless dent removal. You can try the dry ice/compressed air method.

But if not, you can have a body shop fix them and re-paint.

Paintless dent repair would be the best method. No fillers and no paint work.
Dry ice is BS and doesn not work. Metal has memory and even if the dent pops it will go right back when warmed back up. When are people going to learn this...lol

^ Im a painter and are paintless repair guy is ok, he can do more stuff then most people would think. But metal going back when its warmed up? sorry but it very rarly works like that. When you get a dent (most) it streches the metal. So if you just push it out or pull it out, it will come out to far or at least leave a "high" ring around it.
