How to get rid of hood dent

The other saturday night i took my car out to meet some friends for a little get together. (Well the kids in my town do not show respect for car) So as i pull up a friend runs up excited to see my new leather seats. He was a little to excited he ran up the hood of my car. After beating him repeatedly i am still left with a dent in my hood. It is about 4 inches in diameter and is not that noticable but anyone with a eye for cars can see it and they squirm. I was wondering is it possible for me to get to the back of it and bang it out. Or maybe rub it out with a coat hanger? any suggestions would be great.

thanks
eric

Look in your yellow pages for a Dent Dr. in your area. They do paintless dent removal. Usually runs about $125.00 per pannel.
The car will be perfect when there done.

why not just make your friend pay for it? If my friend jumped on my hood I'd rip his legs off and sell them, then fix the dent.

yeah i held down on the ground by his throat so all the girls could see what a wuss he was. But he said he wanted to try and fix it before he pays for it. I am not letting him near my car cause he does not know the first thing about anything the moves on wheels. basically him paying is not an option.

try removing the liner from under the hood and use a large,blunt piece of wood (baseball bat) and try to rub firmly where the dent is from under the hood and try to get it to push back up.

its swirlie time!!!! (if you dont kno wat that is....its when u turn him upside down and shake all the money out of him while yor holding his legs....and then u finish off by flushing his hed in a commode)

No - but seriously - try using a rubber mallet maybe??? - if that dont werk.....just use it as an excuse to get a carbon hood......its like 500 i think???- correct me if i wrong......... but these babies are strong!!! - check out the website www.fiberimages.com - they did sum crazy stress testing on it...... a guy didnt just stand on the hood.....he literally jumped onto it from like 3 feet off the ground!!!!! - and no scratches/dents

Buy a CF hood and make a coffin for your former friend out of your old hood. Any friend of mine knows that to F with my car is to lose ones life.

Kick your friends *** again and make him pay for it. If he won't you could go to small claims court, that would be gay, but if its that important to you, and your friendships not, then do it. But if not try to rub it out yourself, or go to a Dent Dr. and they'll do it for you, pretty pennt though.
