PDR is great and cheap. I had a bunch of dings taken out of my BMW and Porsche for $500. Amazing to watch the guy work too, but at times I had to close my eyes because of what he was doing and how he was doing it. I would have messed up my panels royally had I tried the same things he did.

He took out reverse dings on the trunk too like you have.

Find someone who's too busy to get to you today or tomorrow and has been removing dings for at least five years straight. Then you'll get someone who is really talented or really skilled or both.

I accidentally dropped a part on the rear quarter of my '02 Firehawk (and about had a heart attack). It put a dent in the top of the fender with a nice crease in it. I took it to Dent Wizard and they did a great job fixing it. I can still find it, but I really have to look, and it is barely noticeable.

As far as the paint goes, the way they do it is to repair it very slowly (many small taps rather than one large one). By doing it slowly, the paint has time to flex with the repair. At least that's what I've been told. IMO, it shouldn't matter how old the dent is.

I've heard that some places will fix these dents for $50 per panel.

Down through the years I have save thousands of $$$ using paintless dent removal. Just find the shop in your area with a good reputation and you will be happy.
