Default dent on bonnet, will the front end need spraying

ok, due to me being impaitent and undertaking a scrap lorry something fell off ( karma) and bounced off the bonnet, wasnt that botherd as other cars have had this done

ANYWAY due me owing a jap fucking wanky motor,,, the STI comes with a ALLOY bonnet and so theres a fucking large dent in it

its cracked the paint too but only 1 hair line

now its too high for bonnet pins to cover ( litterally just too !!! )

i got a 2 other tiny dings need sorting anyway

just wondering if a dent master can do it, id rather it beaten out than filled but again its alloy so not sure if it can be


oh and ARGHHHHHHHH, i need to be paitent

it can be filled and painted if its not massive, done loads of ally bonnits when i was painting , and depedin on the colour will tell you if it needs blending, if its dark your get away or if its white , but silvers and some blues are a big no no lol

would need spraying once you remove that horrific scoop anyhow, so it was a sign for you to un-chav the car by putting a normal scoop back on.
