Because my car is mostly track I just used a hammer and got it close enough. I epoxy my headlight, hammered out my rad support, used washers to get my hood to latch close, zip ties to hold in my air intake, and reused the bent bumper and fender.
My point is the damage might be a little more than you think. If i was getting almost free paint i would have my radiator support professionally replaced with new bumper and fenders that align correctly. Then take it for the free paint.
Good luck bro, post before and after pics please

The passenger side fender is also dented pretty bad, but it's not moved in or anything.

I've had it estimated 6 times now. I'm pretty sure I won't need a new rad support though, the bumper cover is only moved in about 1/2inch, I will need a new bumper absorber though I forgot to mention, I was just going to go with a drift bar.
The hood still closes fine, but the right side of the bumper sits about half an inch under it. And yeah the plan was to buy the parts and have a shop pull out the rad support so everything sits aligned, luckily now that I'm closer to home I have a buddy who owns a shop so I'm seeing how much it'll be.
Hopefully when they pull off the damaged parts there's won't be anything else too severe. But it was a *very* slow impact.
