Do you think Dry Ice or anything will help this?

Here is a pic of the annoying ding i have, after some polishing compound it is in perfect shape (paint wise) except for that bottom part you can see, anyone think Dry ice could help it out? It looks worse when shiney like this b/c the light centers on the ding but its rather concave with no defined crease when you run your hand across it..any sorta small puller for it? just don't want to have it professionally pulled and need it blended, etc.

That's not a ding that's a dent!!! All you can do is repair or replace. If you want to fix it take a torch and get it hot and put a ice cold rag on it and it will "pop" out, well most of the time. If that doesn't work I have a extra for sale.

Sorry, wasn't very specific with where it it, its not of the front or else i would replace the fender and that be that, but its the rear which is all one peice.....would a heat gun work good too??? How do i make sure i don't burn or bubble the paint in the process?

the metal is streched. you cannot fix that like you think.

remember u get what u pay for. if it bothers u that much. get it done professionally....IMO

go to a dent removal shop, they usually do pretty good jobs.

That looks creased at the bottom. The probably have to replace it or charge an arm and a leg to fix it if it is creased

its no biggie! the paint is screwed, it will have to be blended and as far as the dent, do like i said and it will come out to a certain extent. You may have to put a dent puller on it. when it is out, body filler will finish the smoothing process.
