Put some bondo on the dents and paint it up.

There are two ways to fix them. One is to build up the dent with weld then sand it back down to the original shape. This will only work if it is a samll dent. The other way is to cut out the dent and replace it with another and sand down the seams. Both ways are pretty easy for a qualified fitter and welder.

Then you can powder coat once you are done.
