Tech tip time. Say that 10 times real fast.
Minor, almost imperceptible dings are pretty easy to spot on nice shiny paint. Dull paint... not so much.
Here's one solution. This is a cheapo 400W heater about 12" in dia. As you can see, it's puts out a distinctive pattern even on dull paint...
You can tell from the circles that I'd already done this then backtracked to give you guys some shots..... but, a nice reflection no?
Now watch what happens when I play that reflection over a small ding.....

You are going to be staring into the reflection of that light a lot, so you don't want something really bright. My local paintless dent repair guy uses a small portable florescent lamp with a suction cup attached to it to put it directly above the working surface.Do you think a brighter light like a halogen shop light might work too
I used to use one when sanding /painting sheet rock

Because the paint is a dull, rough and scratched up surface, I didn't feel this ding with my fingers.
Yeah... this one's gonna take a minute...

I had a ‘78 that had a red / silver theme that I always thought was very pretty. I can’t wait to see what you do with this one!
