Unhappy Pushing out a couple dents

My car has a few dents and dings as well as lots of faded and discolored parts on the paint. From 10' it doesn't look bad, but they always notice these dents.



It looks like there is easy access to the inside if I remove the trunk panel. I was told using PDR on these would cause the paint to peel up - but since I'm planning to repaint in a year or so I don't care much.

Can I carefully push these out myself? I don't need a perfect fix, just something that looks better until I have $$ saved to get the full repaint and body repair done.

Dave

For dings smaller than this, yes. That's if they don't think the paint will peel and they have easy access to the backside.
