    Should i take a crack at this or take it to a shop?

    Hey guys i got this dent along time ago and it doesn't quite look like the picture right now i sanded it and didnt primer so theres a little rust i am going to resand it soon. but i am curious can i take this out myself or should i leave this to a shop if you need a better angel picture just let me know ill take them asap.






    P.S. there is only one dent there just to let u guys know. the second picture kinda looks like theres a dent below it but thats just a scratch. just that one dent.

      How did that happen? Its a really odd place.

        you could try heating it an freezing it, but that usually doesn't work to great. it worked for 2 out of 10 dents i had on my car before it got painted.

          that looks to be about a 1 hr dent at a shop, or a 5 hour one if you have no body work training. You can make it much worse if you don't know what your doing (stretch the metal and then you get to spend some money)

                On a late and tired night after work i drove home and subconsciouly decided that i wouldnt need to use my ebrake on the moderatly steep hill my house resides on. And so my car went ahead and rolled into the nieghbors truck. Of course no damage to the truck but i shattered my rear bumper which i wish to god was the only damage but the next day in the sunlight i saw the new dent i had obtained through stupidity.

                well thanks for your guys input i leave the dent pulling to a professional
