Paintless dent removal should make it like it never happened. Just make sure you get someone that knows what they are doing. Long ago, our '95 Z28 was in a hail storm and we took it to one of the paintless outfits that swarm in when a storm comes. They made it look flawless from the outside, but instead of taking the time to do it right and remove panels to get their tools in, they drilled holes inside the door jams, etc.! They plugged them and the result was "ok", but later we learned that it can be done correctly without drilling holes like that.

Yours sounds like it should be easy to get to and it will be like it never happened. Still a bummer but it should work out fine in the end.
