It's so clean, I'm hoping I can fix it without repainting. It's already the right color. :)

Others are infinitely more intelligent, but from my experience, the only thing that worked remotely well was pushing from the inside slowly with a rounded crowbar wrapped in a cloth slowly around the edges of the dent.

I tried the glue method with the dent popping kit and even after trying suggestions online I could never get it to fully pop out. The dent would get close and then snap off the tool.

From what I can see, that dent looks fairly round. I hope it pops out easily.

Thanks. The glue puller didn't damage the paint eh? That's my concern

I have an assortment of angled pry bars designed for automotive body work like pulling interior and exterior panels off. I'm going to try and get the rounded side behind the dent and gently tap it out a bit.

Missed out on a beautiful silver one from the same seller for less $ bc my wife was yellin at me about some bs.

I had a dark paint finish and the hot glue left a teeny bit on the paint and alcohol and a fingernail got it off and you couldn't tell.
