Arjay,
Are you hoping to get away without painting it? Sounds like a nasty crease. You're thinking of a Ding King puller or something similar. It's like a DIY version of a body shop tool I've called a stud welder; it's like a spot welder that welds naillike studs to a panel. You then pull on the studs with a slide hammer to pull out the dent. When you're done you break them off and sand/refinish the panel. Works JUST GREAT and is on my short list of tools I lust after.
The Ding King is 'similar' but glues the 'studs' to the panel. I have no experience with them.

My wife waited until sunset to tell me she clipped a gatepost -- really clipped it....tore off
two boards and left about a 1.5" deep X 5" long crease in the right rear fender. Can't do much
after sunset except mutter terrible things.
I seem to recall some kind of dent puller system where you superglue some studs along the
crease then use some proprietary doohickey to pull the dent out. It seems worth a try if
anybody on the list can think of the name of the system and remembers where to get it.
Thanks in advance,
