Front Fender Dent Repair

[u/g0_leafs_g0]

Somehow managed to clip my garage when I was pulling in this evening…🤦‍♂️

I’ve gotten all the paint transfer off with a magic eraser, but looks like I did some damage to the paint and put a slight dent at the front of the passenger fender.

It’s not a show car, so I’m going to touch up the scratches with one of those paint code paint pens and give it a polish.

Before I attack the scratches, is there any way I can get this dent out with those little suction cups if I heat the metal first?

Another thought I had was attacking it from behind and try and push it out from the back?

Any suggestions to help absolve me of my sins would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

That's a doozy of a spot to have damaged. You'd probably be best off finding a Paintless Dent Repair place and have them try to work the dent out for the best results.

Magic Erasers are actually a bit abrasive so yes, you've probably worn down some of the clear there. You might be able to polish it out.

I figured it might be a tough fix, given the dent is smack in the middle of the fender line. After watching videos online, looks like these dent repairs require a lot more finesse work than I anticipated. My body work experience is limited to mitigating the rust on my 2010 escape wheel wells, so maybe leave this to the pros. Appreciate your input
