I own a paintless dent removal business DO NOT try to fix it your self cause if you do your going to make it worse!! Then when you do take it somewhere to get fixed its not gonna turn out like it should have. Ive seen that way to many times. By the looks of that dent it most likely has to be done by body work but there is a possiblity it can be done my PDR its just in a really bad spot.

It may be hard to learn by reading instead of showing, but I have fixed dents as bad as that with a spoon. Couldn't even tell it was there. It's one of those paintless dent removal secrets. The tool they use isn't really a spoon, but a spoon is the closest thing to the tool without having to buy one.

LOL buddy that dent will not come out with the ease of just a spoon. A spoon aint even close to the tools I use. Ive done hail damaged vehicles with well over 500+dents I think I know what im talking about. I would love to take a look at the dents you fixed with a spoon lol. Everyone thinks PDR is so easy it aint takes years of practice.

Like I said, it's not a spoon you use but a spoon is as close as I got without buying anything. The tool is just a friggen' stick with a concave end. It was pretty damn easy for me, I know how to follow instructions. I'm not here to argue with you, I was giving advice. If he wants to try getting the dent out he can try what I said or he can listen to you. I gave him a full description of what to do in a private message. It ain't brain surgery, it's just a little dent. It's not like he was about to hire you and then I took your buisness away, so ease up buddy.

you can access that dent by removing the left tailgate latch but the steel is stretched for sure.would just make it look worse if you tried to pop it out or use a pick to work it out....best take it to a shop from your pics its black i think so no need to worry bout colour match...you could also do it yourself if you feel ambitious....
