Driver side Fender fix?

Today I was coming down the Mountain on the dirt road that was 9 feet wide, came around a blind corner and was hit by a dump truck. I want to pull the finder off and tap the dint then sand the yellow paint (my truck is green) and use some primer. I will paint it later on so do you guys have any suggestions or tips on this job for me, or the primer that I should use? Thanks guys

Do not primer it only! Primary actually draws in water causing it to rust under the primer. If you go this route you should atleast throw a layer of krylon on top of the primer as a moisture barier. It can always be sanded down later for a real paint job.
