Bonnet / hood dents

Hi,
I noticed that there are seven dents on the bonnet/hood of my JK.
Not sure how they got there as I keep it garaged.
The only thing I can think of is neighbors throwing stones whilst I have parked up.
The dents are about the size of a penny, 1 or 2 mm deep, the paint has not cracked thankfully.

1. Is it hard to get dents out, could I do it myself?
2. Do I need to remove the liner from inside the bonnet/hood?

Hope someone can help!
Thanks,

harbor freight sells a couple of different dent "pullers". one suction based, and the other uses a hot glue. both work, depending on the "dent". if they work, the paint should be ok.
hammer and dolly will work, but will probably damage the paint, and you would need to remove the liner.
Or.....you could do some serious off road stuff. The scars would make those little dings seem like nothing.
I'd also keep an eye on the neighbors. If it is them, you need to address it, else it will happen again.

Where do you put your hands when you clean the windshield? It does not take a lot to put dents in the hood.

The mystery hood dents might simply have been a passing hail storm. Not so mysterious was a dent on my Mustang hood several years ago that I can attribute to the a$$hat neighbor teeing off in his driveway.
