pop a dent? i dunno if id try it, if I was you i would just ask a body shop if you know any good honest ones.

see if there is a paintless dent remover place in your area, they can fix alot of dents w/o having to repaint anything.

Go to a shop and let them fix it for you. Way easier.

If it was warmer outside I'd tell you about a trick...if it's really warm outside, you can just get some dry ice, put it in a rag, and rub it over the dented area. The metal will contract and expand so fast that it will pop the dent out. This only works on certain dents and does not always work. I've used it before though, and it worked that time. Just gotta be hot enough to work.

dont screw with it you will make it worse take it to a professional shop, not some backyard shop cuz they are cheap... you get what you pay for.

 

[lowflyn]

It only works on really hot days though...

 

[oaktonarcher]

will it work in high 80s low 90s?

 

[lowflyn]

I onno, haven't done it in a while. It was 90+ when I did it, and it was a crease pretty much in the roof of my old car.
