It depends on the type of dent. If it is just a simple pushed in dent, you can try to get to the back side and pop it out. Some people drill a hole and use a dent puller, however I bought one of those glue on dent pullers...and believe it or not, it worked well for smaller dents. Once you have it pulled back out close to where it should be, then you would sand it, use body filler SPARINGLY. prime and paint.

Remember, make sure you don't have high spots...those are what show up the most. Low spots can be filled in...high spots are always high spots.
