basically if the dent is less that id say 1.5 inches in diameter and less that 1/8 of an inch deep, then u can use body filler, otherwise u have to get it popped out and then if there are still creases and such in the panel, then fill those in.

If the dents are in panels that are easily removed or easy to access ex: bumper covers, hood, trunk lid, you don't have to pop them out just use a dolly and a body hammer or something similar if you are not equipped with any dent removing tools such as slide hammers and stud welders.

Touch up paint is for small scratches. They sell it at the dealer. Bondo "glues" body parts together
Bondo doesn't glue anything together. It's a filler for dents and cracks.
