Hoe to fix a dent in a metal door!?

So I was holding on to my door handle and kind of leaning forward. The door opened and my elbow slammed into it, denting the door. Im pretty sure its metal and it looks really bad! Does any one know how I can fix it?This is not a car door it is the front door of my house!

Answer:

You can use autobody filler on a metal house door. Same methods as a car. Practice with it on something else of no value if you have never used it before, Directions are on the can. Repaint the door as you normally would giving the patched area a prime coat first. see links for technique
Try a small sink plunger. Wet the metal door, slowly compress the plunger on the door so you don't dent it further, then pull it off quickly. I've used this method to pull a dent off a car door before so it may work on a house door.
