Dont know if you have em where you live,,,,,,but w/ my 94 jetta.....but paintless dent remover people......they drill a little hole in the side of your door or whatever.....stick a little metla piece inside and pop'em out.........cheap and works pretty well.

I had the body shop pull out a 4" long dent from the panel behind the drivers door (jacka$$ opened their door into it). They did it with paintless dent removal, it's a heated suction thing that slowly heats and pulls the metal back out. It only works if they're not creased and the paint isn't cracked. It was $125 to do it paintless vs. over $500 to have it painted, and you can't tell there was ever a dent.

The one the body shop uses is much bigger than the one on TV (I've seen it) it is also capable of pulling out dents that the TV one wouldn't be able to get. I dunno if you can just go buy the industrial one...
befriend a dent wizard guy like I did and then offer him cash on his time off to fix your car. My dents were estimated at $300 but I gave him $50 cash and he was happy. No sign of em now

if it's a small enough dent..you can also use dry ice and a heatgun/blow dryer to pop the dents back out..but this depends on the size.
just put dry ice on the dent...and then heat it up with a blow dryer or something and the change in temperature usually will pop out small dents.

when you start doing the ice method you can ruin your pain and cause bad hazing in that area. The end results look ok if done properly, but the metal is now weaker in that spot and if you reapply pressure to it, it can come back, forming a bigger dent. Best method= getting a guy/ dent wizard to do it and pay em the $.
