I'm sure you *can* do it by yourself using dent king and stuff like that...

but my honest opinion, if you want the dents to really disappear, and you want it to look good (ie you're **** about the smallest dings) i strongly suggest you let a professional do it

Yesterday I was at my body shop (which, mind you, is one of the best body shops & designers in the nation...truly incredible) and I watched him take out a few dents on a lexus...

First, he had to sand it down, flatten the areas that were sticking out, glaze it to level the surface, sand it, air/sand blast it, prime it, and use special 3 - 6 stage paint, followed by numerous rounds of wet sanding.... it's no newbie job, not to mention paint matching and blending it in so it's not obvious that only a small portion of the bumper was repainted is a whole other ball game....

my respect for professional auto body guys definetly increased a lot yesterday...
