Default Dent School

A couple of pics of my trunk lid which will be the first part I fully prepare and prime ... figured it would be the best starting point since it's flat with a simple curve, easy to move around and work with.

Pictured are a couple of dents by the key hole. Wondering how to handle them. You can see the "eyebrow" on the curve in the deck. There is some access to the back but very hard to see what you are doing on the other side. Considered making a custom tool to push from the back but so far most of the leverage points seem too delicate.

Thinking maybe tack on a stud and pull some while tapping down the eyebrow. Worth it to fashion a tool? Or should I pull it? Or use another method?

And what's with the dealerships back in the day ... looks like they centerpunched the holes for the dealer emblem
