The dents can be taken out by various means with very little filler being used. As for spotting in the paint on a metallic silver, that is very tough. Also, re-clearing over past clear is hard to get the gloss or sheen to match as now the reflective surface is deeper than the rest of the car. Most times an experienced detailer or body man can pick this kind of repair out in a crowd. Glad yours worked out so well but on silver this is not a repair method that I would reccomend.

My car was subject to a similar incident but involving a neigbors car (which he denied) and slightly bigger damage last summer and I ended up having to spray both front fenders, trunk lid and front bumper to paintmatch but I can still tell the difference against the doors and A pillars
