Big D is right. just park the car in the sun and let hood get warmed up. the warmer the better. once it has warmed up put dry ice on dents. the quick temperature change causes the metal to contract back to it original position. if its like hail damage after your done you'll never know it was damaged.

I have a good friend that is a body man. As crazy as this may sound he sets dry ice on top of those dents for brief moments until the drastic temperature change pulls those dents out. It really does work. I've seen him repair hail damage that way.

i own a shop ,and if there's a lot of them you might be better of finding a hood for it,if you use any body filler in a hood because of the amount of heat under the hood it causes the body filler to show up,and this always shows on any car ,no matter what kind it is,if its just a few minor ones ,you might can fill them in and get them to stay,but in most cases i just replace them,its much easier and less time consuming,good luck i hope this helps.

Try opening the hood and hammering them out from the inside, it should work if they are big enough to pop
