If it's not creased and the metal is hot, yes this can work. Some shops used to use a torch to heat the spot and then hit it with a cold rag to pop dents but of course this ruins the paint and requires the inside of the metal to be bare. Park you car in the sun on an extremely hot day and give it a try. Be SURE to wear heavy gloves, dry ice can cause severe damage to skin.

dry ice will not harm the paint?

From the video, the paint still looked great after.
