Paintless dent repair is your best bet. Check the phone book for a local specialist. Depending on size it costs between $50-70 per dent. Which isn't bad at all. I had a dent in the middle of my FG2 drivers door and had it removed in about 10 mins, it was amazing to watch and I could not tell there was ever even a dent there.

Hope this helps

Paintless dent removal will not be able to remove the dent, it will just reappear after awhile, this is what most people have said that have the same issue. Best bet is to get it filled and repaired at a body shop.

i had a dent similar to the fender roll/pull dent,...not from that though, did the paintless crap and well,...it looked wavy at angles. i went to a body shop and had it repaired correctly and they went after the the paintless repair shop to get my money back.

I noticed a small dent above my rear fender some time after I rolled my fenders, but didn't know that it was caused by rolling them. Last week I noticed that the small dent suddenly became a large dent (probably 10" at largest diameter). I'm considering trying to "un-roll" the fender a bit, since I believe I rolled it more than I needed to. Has anyone tried this? I'm hoping that I can take it to a PDR place after reducing the stress from the rolled fender.

It's doing that cause the inner wheel housing is putting presser on the out side of the quarter, The only way to fix this is to bring it to a body shop and have them do it. You'll set the paint less guy up for failure if you ask him to do it.

After seeing a post somewhere about accessing the inside of the quarter panel through the brake light holes, I was able to easily pop the dent back out. Not it is just a small dent again that is only visible from certain angles. Now I wonder if it really was caused by the fender roll ...
