I just showed this picture to a friend of mine who has been doing PDR for 5 years, he said it'd be cheaper and less time consuming to replace the fender as even someone who is an expert in the trade would still have trouble getting the pinched metal lines out (the top part is creased pretty bad according to him. the bottom would come out but again it'd take hours if not a day and a half to work the metal back right on that bottom crease). Within a day or two im sure you could spend less and have a fender swapped out in few hours time, I'd have to say that's probably your best route.

Well duh, I was never going to pay someone to actually fix it. A new fender at the junkyard is $30, so unless a PDR guy likes working for $30 I was just going to get a new one if I couldn't fix it myself, which I don't think I can.

Thanks everyone
