I just finished stripping an Action Cooler and it has a few really small dings on the outside of the cooler, how do you guys take out the small dings?

I use auto body filler for small dents that you can't get to from the inside, on the pin holes it's hard to say, if the metal is real bad on the inside you might have to cut out the spots and weld in patch panels/pieces.

If you can't get to the back of them, some auto body shops have a tool that welds a stud to the metal that can then be pulled with a dent puller.  Then you cut off the stud and grind down the weld. 

If you're feeling experimental, you could always try the pops-a-dent that Billy Mays used to sell on TV.

I was tryint to help a co-worker fix a small dent in a car that he was selling .  We went to the auto parts store to get  a Billy Mays "Pop-a-Dent".  They did not have them.  The guy at the store said that it worked great on the original dent bt it usually left two smaller dents--so beware if using that product.
