No you tap the low spot out in a circular pattern from back side if you can reach it. Use a flat tap hammer and dolly. The least amount of Body filler the better. Apply a dust guide coat after you tap out the low area. This is afeel business. Cross sand the area with a long enough block.

Borrow a weld on stud puller, pull low spots and then use a guide coat. Take your time and you will feel the changes.

Most likely if he hasnt used a stud puller before hes going to either over pull and end up with high spots or not pull enough and still need a skim of glaze. Unless these are big deep door dings I would fill them with some metal glaze and block them out.

i agree with adamr,stud guns can be purchased for $100 nowadays,but should only be used if the dent is bad enough and you cant reach the backside.over pulling is very easy to do on accident,and you just wasted your time and money to cause the same problem in the oposite direction.

u could also shrink the metal if it is over pulled. Watch out for oil canning the metal. I like the bulls eye pick when metal finishing. But u have to have access to the back side.

The dent must be small enough if he didn't catch it before priming... As Adam mentioned, putty and reshoot the primer. Putty is a hell of a lot cheaper than primer-surfacer! And surfacer is only a few thousands of an inch thick per pass!

Sometimes you can get an innertube behind the dent, pump a little air, and pop it out. Not sure if that's the case, but sometimes it allows you to get in at stuff you normally cant...
