How do body shops repair small dents in the front bumper?

(2018 challenger GT) I know that bondo isn’t an option for repair. I have a very small dent from slightly hitting the corner of a column. I’d like to get it filled and repainted, but it seems like it may be more complicated? Thanks in advance.

Dent in the plastic bumper?

If so it can be pushed out from the rear of the bumper meaning you have to remove it, and use a heat gun from the rear and push it out from the rear and heat from the rear, but you have to be very careful with a heat gun, if you get it too hot, you can distort the plastic and end up having to buy a new bumper.

Now if what I just told you sounds Greek to you, do what ^^^ Mr. Bill, suggested. Ry

The Fascia , Bumper Cushion has to come off then heat has to be used along with a Poly Filler its not a do it your self job.
I did over 25 years of Body and Paint best let a shop do it. While its a job when you reassemble the pieces and install
most mess up the alignment of the Fascia...
