Default How do I pop out a small dent?

I'll post pictures later if I can but its just a small dent on the right side of my z a bit lower by the gas tank and its just rather small nothing big so I'd rather try and save 150$ dollars and pop it out. Does anyone know any methods?

The small ones are the hard ones. Got a picture? Pretty much better just to tape it off, sand it down, bondo it, then repaint and reclear.

Again, pics will always help assess the best way to tackle your problem. Sounds like the dent is a metal one. Honest, get a hair dryer and some dust-off (Keyboard cleaner). Heat the dent with your hair dryer for about a minute carefully. Then quickly hold the dust-off upside-down, shake, and spray the entire dented area. Your dent should remove itself in 30 secs. or so.
