Working with sheet metal panels is both a sience and an art. The first thing you should do is go buy a book on bodywork from your local auto parts supplier,and read it. You can do more damage to the panel buy simply beating on it! You need to identify the type of dent/damage that you have, for example;crease,oil-canning,impact damage,ect.Each of these require similar techniques but different plans of attack. The thing to remember is that the metal has been displaced,creating certain conditions in the metal.Some dents look severe yet the actual damage to the metal is in a very small area. Take care of the small area and the rest of dent will pop out. To much hammering will cause the metal to stetch and make a lot more work for you. Work smart not hard.
