Yes a little too big for PDR to get the dent all the way out. Most shops would use a dent puller to get most of the dent out, then use filler and repaint the entire fender. And from my experience a lot of them would partially spray the nearby areas- hood and door to get a "perfect" look. Some colors re harder to "perfectly" match than others. I would expect it to cost about 650-750. But shop around and go with a new fender if you feel better about it.

If it were me, I would have PDR get out as much as they could and try to do the work myself- sanding and a bit of filler, then paint, wet sand to blend, then clear coat and buff to blend everything in. You can do pretty good with a manual spray can- it's all about the wet sanding and blending in. Not for everyone but definitely the cheapest route to go. My GF's son did body work like that a lot at a restoration shop and he got pretty good at it. It's not perfect, perfect but pretty close.
