1. The first thing to do is to find out what kind of dent is in the panel, and what is lurking underneath the paint. To do this, you can use a flat board-for the non-air compressor people-or use a Dual Action (DA) sander for those with air. By using 80-grit sandpaper, start sanding the panel, if bare metal shows through at the same time, then the panel is pretty straight and shouldn't need more than a few coats of high-build primer. If you unearth bare metal quickly in one small area, then that is a high spot. If you have to use the edge of the sander to dig out the paint of an area, then that is a low spot. If you unearth a bunch of little holes, then that is rust and will need to be cut out and replaced. View Related Article
