take fender off, grind off paint around and in dent, if metal is not stretched hammer and dolly dent out back to contour, spread body filler sand 80 grit->140 grit->220 grit, if needed repeat filler, if not needed spread icing over sand smooth 140->220, make sure it's feather egde along with making sure the paint that you grined away is feather edged, then take to get painted.

Same thing happened to me. Spent $400 at a local body shop to get it fixed and painted. I feel for you man.
