Depending on how bad the dent is and if the paint is broken or not, it may be cheaper to use one of the professionals.

 

I paid £70 to have a dent no bigger than the size of my hand pulled out on my daughter's car. Excellent job too, can't tell it was even there.

The key thing is HAVING REAR ACCESS.

 

Do a You-tube search on:

 

PDR

or

Paintless Dent Repair.

 

The professionals have a huge range of special tools, all shapes, hooks, bars, straps etc

They can get access through the gap between the door-frame and the glass.

 

If you dont have rear access then the method of spot-welding studs and using a slide hammer is good.

Depending on the size/shape, dents can be pulled from the outside (with no access from behind) by gluing (hot melt adhesive) a stud on the outside and pulling that.

 

The biggest fear is the paint seperating from the car - but rarely happens.

Depends what your expectations are. These kits are widely available nad may do the job. Most include a video but what ALL of them don't include is training and years of experience.

Better get yourself an old panel, knock a few dents in to it and practice. Just remember for every dent there is usually a resulting 'high' that needs dealing with. Even with pullers the area may need a tap-down tool used afterwards.

 

Good luck

It depends on the shape and size of the dent as if its stretched the metal then your going to have to do some bodywork anyway.
