There is a heat gun, dry ice/duster method that supposedly has good results on some dents. I have not tried that method yet but hope to try it on my dads car later this year. That method you heat the dented area well with out burning the paint and place the cold source on the hot metal the difference in temps causes the dent to pop out. Search on google before performing it though.
Yea I have read/looked at what you are talking about aka heat gun then CO2 or dry ice which if used incorrectly could scratch finish. I may even try a POP A Dent from local auto part/chain retail store. The suction cup idea is good too but not sure How to size dent to size of suction cup?

I tried "POP A DENT" the glue never attach/bond tight and so when you tight the tool just pulls small tabs of leaving messy glob of glue.
