We have different responses here, with some paintless dent guys being successful and others not. I bought a 6 gallon tank cheap with a small dent and tried a paintless guy. He had a look at it and shook his head! As others have said, car panels are thinner and more easily reworked than our Harley metalwork.
There are various websites that describe doing this yourself and I have had some success with my dent. Heating with a hair drier, then using plumber's pipe freezing aerosol slowly drew it out. I gave up after a while, but may have another go, now I'm prompted to think about it!

I had a dent on my old street glide by placing my fairing on my front fender a little too fast that was covered with a towel. These fenders are so thin that it's almost like a pop can.
I removed my front tire and used the handle of my dead blow hammer to gently tap the bottom of the dent. After a couple gentle taps, it literally came out perfect. The bike was vivid black and i couldn't see the old dent in any angle or which ever way i looked at it.
I'm no body man but if it's a small dent then you should try fixing it yourself as the metal in the fender is so soft.
