How do I fix an outward dent in the car?
I closed my trunk on something and now there’s an outie dent. How do I fix an outward dent in the car?

To fix an outward dent in your car, you can try Paintless Dent Repair.
PDR is a process for fixing small dents where the technician uses metal rods and body picks to carefully reshape the metal. Paintless Dent Repair may cost about $125 for small dents. This process is faster than body filler and repainting, costing up to $600 per panel for dent repair.
Ask your mechanic to recommend a skilled technician in PDR. Be aware that you will probably need to repair the paint, too.
