Garage
Be very thankful you didn't take out the tail light assembly or dent the fender. Hot water will not cure either of those if damaged.

I have used that trick before with success, though I used my wife's hair dryer (not too close)

I ended up ordering touch up paint off of Amazon, it's not perfect up close, but from 10-15 ft you can't really tell the difference.

It really is amazing how well popping out a dent like that works with some heat. Good work sir!

Color is Seal Grey.

There are still gouges in the plastic which will have to be filled and then re-spray.
I don't think heat will fix it where the plastic has stretched.
