Default Dent Repair???

I have a foot ball sized dent that isnt very deep on the rear quarter panel towards the front by the door. How much would it cost to get fixed or would anyone suggest using a kit and repairing it myself?

I'm not too good on bodywork advice, but I would definitely farm out a football sized dent to a pro.

a dent that big i`ll bet the metal has a nice crown in it, no pdr guy is that good, and it`s right by the door depends on the color of your car the door would have to be blended and all parts removed on the door, parts removed on the 1/4, drop the bumper down

repair the 1/4, maybe 5-6 hours im guessing here, it could reach close to 1,000

it could not 100% sure but it is possible
