Can't really tell what you're talking about in the pic

 

if there is no crease, then yes.

 

Not exactly. Some dents when popped back out will cause the metal to stretch. This is often more of a problem on smaller dents, because they put it in more of a "bind".

 

not the metal stretching but more of the paint. Taking care of a ding/dent right away is better than down the road. I use to work at a body shop.

 

Huh? Are you saying the paint can stretch after letting a dent set? Agreed. But are you saying a dent when popped won't stretch the metal? If so I know many instances that would show otherwise. And me too.

Regardless, get us some better pics. All I can see is a reflection. It looks like there might be a small dent just under the base of the garage door. From what I can tell if that's it, it looks to maybe have stretched the metal initially.

 

There is a point where paint will stay it's shape after a dent/ding. The paint additive is keeping the paint in one piece when a dent/ding occurs. If you notice, if you have something freshly painted less than 6 months, a bad ding to the paint will crack the paint because it creases too much.

 

take it to a body shop, theyll get a paintless dent guy to come in and take care of it.

 

Yeah, that what I said I agreed with. I thought earlier you were saying that the metal couldn't stretch after being popped out.
