Can large, jagged hail chip my car's paint?

Yes, I have dozens of dents which is why they want to do PDR… that’s ducky for where there is no paint damage, however, where the paint is actually chipped, they cannot do paintless dent repair and restore the car to its pre-damage condition – it will require paint. I just feel like there is a major fight coming with the insurance company, since it seems from everything I’ve read on the web and heard from talking to people, that they will fight having to cover the chipped spots as not being caused by the hailstorm.
