well it covers the entire car. Maybe each dent is about 1 inch in diameter. I tried one of the hail damage repair kits that use super glue and well........it didnt work. So any other suggestions are appreciated. Thanks again

have you tried taking it to a shop for an estimate? Try searching for a dent king or Dr. dent removal, some cheesy name body shape like that specializes in removing dents.

dent is too deep.

it needs minor repair where they will pull it up with slide hammer, and repaint.

epoxy primer and putty alone is not good enough, for it will crack after weathering.
