Default Help Removing Dent/Paint Chip

I looked at my tC today and got ____ed. There's a deep chip/dent on the hood - near the front of the car as you can see in the pics.




They're not that great but it's a small but fairly deep dent, and the chips are to the bare metal. There's 2 grooves in the biggest chip. It looks like a deep rock or car part opped up off the road and wham hit right there. I was gonna get the Rockblocker clear mask too but it's too late now.

What is the best way to pop that dent back out and fix the paint? I have the touch up paint coming (it's at my parents' house), but it won't be here for a few days. Will a dent remover be able to pull it out (Like this: http://www.asseenontv.com/prod-pages/pops-a-dent.html)? Because of the position on the hood I don't think I'll be able to bang it back out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know, those pop a dent and ding king stuff don't work well. Maybe bring it to a professional body shop.

Agreed. A good body shop can do an amazing job.
If you aren't sure where to go, ask someone you know in the area, or you can call your insurance company for a recommendation.
