    Removing a dent

    I'm trying to remove a dent on my car myself. So far I've tried the heat gun and air canister method which has helped but my damage is too severe. Im thinking about a dpr kit on Amazon that I've linked below. Is this even worth it for my situation? Once the dent is out I do plan on sanding the damaged areas and bondo to get it repainted. Is there a better DIY method or should I let a shop handle this?

    It looks like your going to need a body shop to repair that "dent".

    Haha I may be exaggerating a little but this is an 07 sentra that I plan on getting rid of. I dont want to put a lot of money into this so I'm wondering if this could be pulled out and corrected

    Joe dirt said it would buff out LOL, I've fixed plenty of dents like that, it would require a stud welder, body filler, high build primer, and the paint would need to be blended

    So you would actually need to blend the door, and the bumper cover. Not saying you cant do it at home, but materials alone would cost me around 150.

    And i get a big discount compared to the general public.

    Sell it with the dent or take it to a body shop. Pulling that dent is not going to make a large selling price difference on a 2007 Sentra. Detail the interior really well. Clean the engine. Slap some tire shine on it and sell that bad boy!

    even if you attempt to pop it out from the backside the paint is going to crack and then it will start to rust,leave it alone .
    as strong 66 and rlmcarty said it cost more than you'll get back out of it
