Dent in hatch. How to fix?

So I was backing out of my driveway at night and didn't see my tenant's truck there. His truck was fine but it left a big dent on my fit. Is there anyway I can fix it myself? If not, how much would it cost to repair it?

Maico paints for 100 dollars a panel, have painless remove the dent, wet sand to primer not metal around each scratch and your repaired for < 300 bucks if the wind blows your way..

FWIW Maico does a good job with spraying paint, the body work is "ok"..

Or after painless dent is done, vinyl the bottom of the hatch with something interesting..
