Easiest cheapest way to fix dent

I’m sure many of you as stated in the above comments are rolling around in your graves because you have many years of experience in auto body work and therefore know the “right way of doing the job”. I am going to have to learn the hard way gents. I’ll still let you know how things turn out. If after all is said and done, it is a crap job, I’ll have to look in the mirror and blame myself. Thank you for the advice.

Ok, you're just killing me. I used to paint locomotives and cars and boats and anything else that came my way. You are doing all hard work, the cleaning, the prepping, the sanding and taping. All of it and it looks like you're doing a really good job of it. And then you're using spray cans? I'm not knocking the work you're doing but seriously, shooting paint with a gun isn't that hard and with a little practice most people can do a pretty good job. I gotta believe spray cans are going cost you a lot more than shooting it with a gun and even a half ways decent paint job will look a lot better than the best spray can job. I would like to make a couple suggestions. When shooting your panels and smaller areas you should tape them off from other areas of the car so that they can be sprayed individually. That will help you from getting dry spots and tiger striping. When you do the roof it also would help to have one person on each side spraying at the same time to keep the dry spots to a minimum. As for spray cans, I use them a lot and they can produce a super finish but on smaller items only. I've tried it with spray cans also. Just trying to help with my past experience. Good luck. It truly looks like you're getting the best job out of those spray cans that you could expect.
