if it is just a few dings and surface rust spots, just go get a can of body filler (the best stuff is called Body Pro available at UAP/NAPA here in canada, i guess you could get it anywhere though. but use that to fill the dents(make sure you sand the paint off where tou will be filling). then there will probably be some nicks and small imperfections in the filler so get some stuff called "icing from uap/napa and that will fix it for you.

ps be carefulll do not mix up a whole bunch of the bodypro at once though cuz you have only about 3 mins to work with it.

i used it on by toyota corrolla and it turned out awesome and it was the first time i ever did bodywork. it sounds like your ride isnt as bad as mine, i had to put metal patches in and stuff.
