I did a dumb thing yesterday. I backed into a spot in the parking garage and...misjudged how far back I should go. D'oh! Didn't see the damage yesterday because of the angle, but this morning it was staring me in the face. I'm not about to file a claim with my insurance. The good news (or so it would seem) is that in feeling under the bumper, it seems to be hollow behind the dent, so ostensibly I could "push" out the dent. I'm less worried about the little paint blemishes that result.
So what's the best/easiest/cheapest way for a non-handy person like myself to deal with this? And by cheap I mean free with my labor being the only cost. Is this a job for the ol' deflate a football, place it behind the dent and inflate or is there a better way? I suppose I could try to dent the other side to match, but absent of that, I'm open to suggestions. Here's what I'm dealing with. And thanks in advance.
-edit- Just to be clear, I didn't hit another car. It was a barrier protecting a pillar in the garage.
