Dent's from acorns? Are you sure that's what they're from? I would think they would mark/scratch the paint (unless the come from someones slingshot! But not on the top surface).

You really don't ant any repainting if at all possible. Like they others said dent removal guys might be able to do something to make it better.

I've seen hail damage from softball size hail that literally ripped the sides right off a row of new Suburbans and killed cattle in the field. But I've never heard of acorn damage before. This has to be a new one!

its those dam squirrels I tell you. Last time I parked my car under a tree and was walking to my office, I head this loud clunk. I turned around and saw this acorn bounce off a car in front of mine. I didn't think anything of it so I kept walking. Then I head it again. I looked up in the tree and I see a squirrel picking acorns and throwing it down at the car below. I thought "what the f...?!". I went back to my car and moved it.
