Complete frame respray is a bit of a shame.
Try spot repair at a good painter. It's worth it.
A good painter can also help you to fill it with epoxy filler before painting.
Best is, to take it to a frame builder who can try to reduce the dent with a round clamp, a vice and a work bench. I doubt if comes out perfectly round and straight.
I guess it still needs filling, filing and sanding it the reapired spot.
Frame builders fill with epoxy filler (or whatever the stuff may be) or silver solder.
Still no need to repaint the whole frame, but if you don't touch up the repaired spot, it doesn't make sense to repair it at all.
If you decide to respray the whole frame, have it done at a very good bike frame painter with wet paint.
You can try Cyclomondo decals, but make sure to order the correct style # 2. Not the other one!
So, use [this](http://i.ebayimg.com/08/!BV3FhjgCGk~$(KGrHgoOKioEjlLmfBoYBKUpPsQpNQ~~_12.JPG).
Besides that, in The Netherlands and Belgium, there must be quite some Gazelle replica decals that are NOT from Cyclomondo. "Illegal" Gazelle paint jobs and replica decals exist for decades. No idea where and how to find these though.
Excellent painters can mask the current decals. In that case, you don't need new ones. That's what forum member Zieleman did with his Zieleman frame.
