Best thing to do …
Best thing to do for these types of dents is use a little 3″ angle grinder with a 36 grit disk to cut the paint away from the shallow part of the dent. Then, use a little 3″ 180 DA to scuff the paint around the outer part of the dent being careful to only scuff the paint , not to feather the paint. Then apply the bondo and read its transparency to level being careful to make quick sharp cuts using green 80 grit paper, not that yellow 80 paper you are using. Its way to course for a small dent.

An aerosol can …
An aerosol can won’t work very well unless it’s a two part can. 1 part cans are different and they will fade. Any 2 part clear will work. Every product has flash time which is specified on it’s product data sheet, that’s the length of time you need to wait in between coats. Most things are 5-15 minutes.

You can also use a …
You can also use a contrasting colored paint in place of graphite powder. It is called a guide coat, graphite powder is just the type of guide coat used here.
It is 3M graphite …
It is 3M graphite powder. It is used to help identify high or low spots while block sanding. If the powder remains on the surface when blocking it tells you there is a low spot because your block isn’t allowing your paper to hit it, so you know that you need to continue leveling the area.
It can also be used to help when switching to a higher grit. if you apply it over 320 scratches and you want to refine up to 500-600, you will know the 320 is gone once the guide coats off.
