Please help a friend...

Hello everyone,
My friend has backed-up his 335i sedan and has damaged the rear trunklid and would like it to be repaired. Any idea if a pdr specialist will fix this? The paint is the metallic black. Here are pictures of the damage, right above the BMW badge. If anyone is in or around the Harrisonburg, VA area, and is capable of fixing the problem please let me know. The owner may be willing to drive a bit to get the job done right at a fair price. He also has a scrape from someone rubbing his front bumper that would need a repair. Maybe some suggestions for the repair and an estimated cost, that would be great. Please pm me or just post in this thread. All help is appreciated. Thanks autopia!! Here are some pics (please ignore the swirls...it isn't my car):

I'd bet money no PDR guy will be able to fix that; way too much metal fatigue.

I m guessing no PDR guy would be able to fix the problem too. So what would need to be done?

It would need to be painted afterwards, the sharp line is going to flake the paint as the dent is popped out
