Default DIMPLES on body.......

tried searching "dimples", and got nothing but crap about women well, here it is. when i purchased my car, i did notice a few 'dimples' in the body, you can run your hand over them, but you cant feel a thing. only noticeable at the right angle/lighting. months have gone by, and i have noticed so many more. it frustrates me. there are no marks, i cant feel a dent. what the heck!!! so i figured i'd try posting here. i'm pretty sure there is no way to fix them without painting, but i guess i just want to know where this may come from. paint deformation??? like i said, there are no marks, and no, these are not door dings. thanks all!

i have 3. from people opening their door into me. you can barely see them. and you cant feel them.

its probably because honda sheet metal is so thin and any little thing will give you a dimple.

Not a paint deformation, it's a metal deformation. Have a paintless dent guy work it.

ahh those damned microdents. My passenger side door has quite a few. Nothing that PDR can really affect (if I'm not mistaken) but are definitely there from the right angle/lighting. Stupid people and their disregard for other peoples cars :/
