You could attempt it, but it takes practice to get it right...

You should get it done, its not as expensive as you think. But if not they do sell paintless dent removers at your local parts store.

The last PDR I had done was like $65 (?) for around 14-16 dings worked out. It was the off-season for the PDR guy, so he cut me a deal. I think he usually charges $50 per panel.

PDR tools are not cheap. Even on eBay, they are pricey. If you insist on doing it yourself, I would find a junkyard hood or panel and practice ALOT on that. It is not as simple as it might seem. If using the rods, I would worry about pushing the dent out too far, and star-cracking the paint. If using the hot glue and suction cups, I would worry about pulling a nice chunk of paint off.

Just an FYI...

Dont try it yourself, you can end up making it a lot worse. I would take it somewhere. Ding King and such products works on some dents, but not so much on small deep dents, just medium size shallow dents.
