You must throw some paint over the undercoat.
Undercoat absorbs water and in the tropical climate of the Blue Mountains it will start to rust under the undercoat.

If you leave it by the time you get all the dents out of the car you will need a new car!

I moved from the Blue Mountains to Goulburn. I don't have to worry about rust. I can leave it bare metal and it don't rust!

just going to undercoat it for now and once the car has all the dints removed i will buy a spray gun and do it myself. i already got a supercheap air commpresser


Don't leave it in undercoat to long as it is porous and surface rust will start. Best to get a can of spray paint and cover it.

Now you have got this far you may as well get some colour matched and spray the area for the time being. Just be careful with your masking you don't want any hard edges. I resprayed the back of mine with an air brush, my dent was a lot bigger than yours (the light pointed in a different direction), and now, after a few tins of bog and a lick of paint, you'd hardly notice!
