Try and push it from the inside, Pressurise it with compressed air to blow it out or use some kinda sucker thingy on it.

The only fear is cracking the paint or making a crease. then you will need to take the paint off, fill it, sand it, prime it, sand it and the get it sprayed.

So be Carefull! :shock:
