Default Two dents in my fender

So yeah...I have a couple. One is the size of a quarter, and the other, a dime. They're probably about 3-4mm deep, but the paint is unaffected. Is it possible to bang them straight from inside the fender? Better yet, is there an easier way than that to get rid of the dents? Thanks homies.

I hear dry ice works really well to get dents out, i havent personally done it, but i have a friend that had hail damage on his hood and it took all of the dents. Got any pics of the dents ?

Dry ice? I'll do some research on that. Thanks for the tip. No, I don't have any pics of the dents just yet. In a couple days, I'm gonna post pics of another body issue I'm having, so I'll include pics of the dents then.

Mmm Hmm. At any rate, the dents are in my front, left fender...not too terrible far away from the lip of my wheel well. Is it likely that I can remove the wheelwell liner, and get at them will a ball peen? Beyond that, is it likely that it the fender will look good after I do it?

Thanks, PJB. I wonder how they would do it? If I can find out, then I can save the money and do it myself.

Theyve got a whole assortment of body spoons and stuff like that and they go behind the panels and pop the dents from what I understand.
I really should get the dent in my Elantra's trunk popped out but Id hate to spend money on that car.

Dents suck. I feel like the car would look so much cleaner without them.
