The Rusty Gear

I managed to put a good dent in my drivers side front fender, right behind the mudflap. I'm pretty sure I could try brute force pulling and eventually get the fender cladding off, but being a new vehicle, what is the proper "finesse" way of removing the caldding?
Should be able to pop it back into something close to it's original shape!
Along similar lines, I put a pretty good gouge in the plastic cladding at the bottom of the rear drivers side door (not sure if sliders would have prevented it). Being plastic, I would have assumed gouges wouldn't show as much as they did. It almost looks like the plastic is painted and the scratch went through the paint. Are the painted? I'm looking for a way to reduce to the appearance of my Rocky Mountain Pinstriping.
