Maybe these video can be of help to you - the suction cup pullers and lifters are mainly used by professional panel beaters.

You will likely make it worse.... Panel beating needs skill, not like tightening a screw... 

So far I only polish off scruffs or touch up small chips.

Pulling using suction cup lifter is suitable for "tin can " dents not for sharp deep dents. Applying heat will be help alot in the pulling effort.

This video - the pulling is via a ir powered suctiopn cup puller

This is part and parcel of owning a car.  It is better to use touch-up paint and accumulate enough scratches and small dents, then send it for a full body re-spray to restore to showroom condition.

Yeah. Quickly touch up to prevent any rusting.  I also touched up myself till one truck came too close to my parked car and I claimed against its' company insurance and did up everything at one go for free.

Bro, Grill is Plastidip? Remove the Plastidip put thin putty and redo... 

 

Hood wise... smooth out the whole abit with sandpaper... fill w touchup paint & clear (buy exact code if possible)... then wet sand & do paint correction aft dry... 

 

Am not an expert but tried using touchup marker for small holes still ok... bigger ones... will turn out abit ugly if not done right,..

Why don't you just consult a few spray paint shops to get quotes. Then you will have a accurate idea on how much it will cost you.
