get it pulled

if you had a new sill fitted it wont be the same

most good places will sand off the paint, pull the dent out with the electrode pullers and then a skim and paint
i expect 500 buckaroos tho

once thats done it needs to be coated inside too

if it had a new section it will again need a skim and coating inside but i would pref the original metal myself
