As long as the paint is not cracked, always go PDR first as that will usually be cheapest and quickest. Most PDR techs charge per panel, so may be worth it to wait until Spring to get that fixed in case you get any more dings.

Luckily the paint isn't cracked. Stupid me got lazy and instead of removing the built up ice/slush/snow by hand I used my foot (a bit too hard apparently).

Yes, it can be done.

I got two (one each side) that are a little worse. I've gone to two guys (one more reputable then the other... He got rid of a lot of door dings). Both said the only way to do the rocker panel properly was to drill a hole from the top (inside car) and go from there.... I said fuck that

Edit; just realized its on the FENDER....stupid me haha... yes, yours is 1000x easier to do and won't require drilling
