Default how hard is it to remove dints from an alloy panel?

just bought a bonnet from ebay but its arrived with delivery dints, the seller has offered it me for a discounted amount, (about half price). is it do-able or is it a no go area?

thanks in advance.

its ususally not possiblr to remove them without filler as the under side reinforcers stop you from panel beating them out but with the right type filler ie plastic padding GALVA which is for alu and galvenised panels it is possible mate ive done plenty.

Thanks Shaun, I guessed that to be honest. I considered buying it getting as straight as I could then having it wrapped in that carbon 3m stuff, may as well just wait for a decent one to come along and collect it
