Its small and has a crease in it. Call a paintless dent guy. If you try and do it yourself it will just look like a smaller dent and the paint will crack.

sand to bare metal, weld tap pullers. Pull dent back in place. Bondo low spots. Sand, primer then sand again. Paint and clear coat.

Yea this is expensive.

Call dentless repair first, than go to autobody place.

If you have never done autobody repair its not going to go well.

The first question would be: are you any sort of a DIYer handyman?
I work on all my own stuff up to the point of needing special equipment or skill, so what I'm going to propose sounds like a walk in the park, but if you're answer to that question is no or you don't have basic tools then just stop reading...

I would take the door panel off and roll a baseball or other hard spherical object across it from the other side. It's probably about the best you can do without paying a body shop or replacing the door.

If the paint isn't broken, then paintless dent repair. Have had it done many times. I'm pretty sure if you try some dodgy DIY job on it you might make it worse, but best case won't remove it completely. It'll take a good dent tech about 5 minutes to remove that.
