dry ice works for small dings, it shrinks the metal just a little. The cheapest and first thing i'd always try is a good ole toilet plunger. My friend was looking at a dent i had on my fender one day adn he's like "let's take that out" and i go "i dont have the tools or money to buy repair stuff" and he goes "watch" so he went inside and then came back out with a plunger, i looked at him like "wtf" then he pressed it against the dent and pulled and it popped right out. You cant tell i ever had one. took like 5 seconds. So thats the first thing i would try since it doesn't cost anything (Unless you dont have a plunger) and if it doesnt work, you had nothing to lose in the first place
