Body Damage



Digesters-

I noticed several months ago a large dent in the tailgate of my "trailer queen." It appears as though it had been done with a rubber mallot as no paint was left behind by whatever vehicle had run into it in the parking lot; the paint on the area has only recently started to crack. The dent is for the most part concentrated, only affecting the small panel adjacent to my driver side rear light, and a slightly bowed out portion of the adjacent panel towards the center of the tailgate.

I am worried that I will have to replace the entire "otherwise perfect" tailgate, and am not looking forward to color matching 7 coats of Corvette yellow... Besides slide hammer... What method/s do you think would work best?

You can see pictures of the damage on my web page: http://www-scf.usc.edu/~lfreeman

Thanks!
