Very Minor Dent On the Hood

Hello,

I got a very very minor dent on my hood. Its barely noticeable unless you view it from a certain angle and lighting. I tried taking a picture but my camera can't even pick it up. Thats how unnoticeable it is.

Went stargazing with the lady and i guess my fat ass was too heavy for the hood. FYI, the front of the 86 is perfect for viewing stars(+1) but never again Its only about a quarter size dent. I've tried using a suction cup but that didn't work.

Before I mess up anything, does anyone know of a quick method to repair it? I also looked under the hood to see if I could possible pop it back into place but theres a big piece of metal blocking the area. Its the upper part of the hood

Thanks

Try a paintless dent removal guy, he might be able to get it out.

Also, the hood will dent if you sneeze on it. Just FYI.

Drive the car a lot more, and you'll get some more dents that will serve as camouflage.

No really, try PDR. Find a place that has experience with aluminum, and maybe they can fix it up for you.
