Default Dent repair

The heavy panel material of the CMP body makes dent removal somewhat more involved than standard automobiles. I have been able to remove the front fenders and use an anvil and hammer to repair them but how about parts on the vehicle? The standard dolly and hammer method is somewhat underwhelming to say the least.
I have pretty much resigned myself to removing anything that comes off for repairs but what about the main body? Is there a trick to getting these dents repaired... some are pretty impressive.

Additionally I will be cutting out heavilly damaged parts and welding in new "sheet metal". Is there a primer that I can apply that will seal the raw steel until I'm ready for paint? I have used standart automotive primers in the past but moisture penetrates which is rather counterproductive.
