| When I was living in TX there was golf ball hail at least twice a year, you shoulda seen the new cars that shit messed up. Theres specialty shops there that do it paintless, not sure about where youre at. If anyone wants to get a new car at a HUUUGE discount, get a hail damaged ride. |

Why does price matter - if you have a 5G lude isn't it covered by Comprehensive in your insurance policy? |

My fiancee got some hail damage to her car on sunday. She was down around the Heritage Mall area. She said it was marble size hail... I only found about 5 or 6 dimples in her paint, they are faint and shallow but there nonetheless. :mad:
Oh well, at least its only a Sunfire... (which we'll be getting rid of next year anyway). |

| it was on the southside, and yes they are around marble size, a few even chipped the paint..I'm not sure if it is even worth going through insurance, since it might jack it up....Can anyone reccomend a good palce for dent removal?:confused: |

Hail damage is like theft - a no fault claim, so it should go up.
What body panels have hail damage? If it's the hood/roof/trunklid, it's probably worth it to make a claim as repair/repaint on it will cost a bit...
Edit: Just realized, that should be "...shouldn't go up..." |

To just repaint the hood/trunk/fender you'd probably be looking at 500 MINIMUM without any work removing dents. Again, that's a bare minimum to repaint those three pieces in base/clear paint (With no prep work involved).
I'd hazard to guess (without seeing of course) the claim will be $1000 or more, which means you'll save money going through insurance. |

500 to paint the hood, trunk, and fender,
damn, you going to maco or something?
your insurance will not go up from this, its a no fault, and there shouldnt even be a deductable.
A good shop like dougs place will tally that up to about 3k damage if it needs painting. if not more. |

I said minimum for a reason.
As I can have it painted for less than that with quality being good, so I'm sure other people can too. |
