my car got two 1-2 inch diameter dents on hood which is 3/4 inches above the grill ... painter says no tools can reach that place so, hood should be teared or cut the panel to dent .I think it'll be good if dent should be filled with crack proof filler and then painted....anybody have suggestions???please reply.

Yes, agree with you. Use your metod sound logical... :grin:

trijet XG is right go to another repair shop and get some more estimates, any decent body shop should be able to repair the hood with body filler and then repaint the hood

Now I'm no expert on this forum but here in the UK we have companies that can do "Paint Free Dent Removal". The finished result is dependent on the actual paint age and condition. I haven't used this process on my Matrix (it's only a couple of months old) but my Wife seriously banged the nearside front wing of her Citreon Saxo when it was just 3 months old and I swear, when the technician had done the work I could not see a mark! I would definitely use them again!! I am an Engineer by profession.
Do you have such companies in your country? If so and your car is not too old or paint is in good order, it may be worth investigating.
I paid £50 to have the whole wing rectified. The charge was £50 per panel regardless of amount of dents!
