Pull your inner fender well out and maybe take it to a pro? You're lucky because the paint didn't crack, and I'm just worried that if you try and knock it out yourself you may scratch your paint all to hell.

Doesn't seem much to me, but to each his own lmao.

Dent pullers? Check autozone. That's a pretty small dent though, suction cup pullers usually can't do small ones very well and you may still have a crease after. I've seen the pros pull dents out of cars in show rooms and you couldn't even tell it got dinged. (Kids jumping from car to car bashing doors together.)

Bummer! Don't you hate it when that happens!

Looking at the top & bottom of the ding, I'd say a dent puller will have difficulty, especially when it's on a curved surface. but hopefully I'm wrong. Good luck with that.

Its a very weird process but I have seen it work. Heat it up real quick then cool it down even quicker, then POP! just remember to spray with the can upside down lol.
