Default taking out dents?

Ok i got this dent above my front left tire and im tryin to get my car painted soon but i didnt really wanna go to a body shop since its not major damage. i can send a pic by email if you wanna see it. I was just wondering if anyone could give me some ways of gettin it out myself. i tried lookin in the engine bay but there's too much shit in the way to pound it out. also if there are any cheap painters out there lmk cuz i wanna paint it like a gloss black, nothin special just want it on there and look halfway decent.

Put something on one side of the fender over the dent (proper term, "Dolly"), cover it with a cloth, and beat the inside of the fender back out with a hammer. Preferably a rubber mallet, since its probably a 240 with flimsy ol' fenders.
