Small Dent Issue

Hey All,

A piece of debris hit the lower part of the front passenger door and made a small 6" x 1/4" dent, about 1/16" deep. Luckily, the scratches came out with some 3M Rubbing Compound, but does anyone have some advice for getting the panel flat again? Should I take it to a shop for this dent or just do it myself? And if I do it myself, does anyone have step-by-step VERBAL instructions on taking the body panel off?

Thanks!

Jung

Unless you do "dent repair" for a living, it will never look like new.
Easier and cheaper to go to a ding/dent repair place and have them do it. It will cost $50-$75 and take less than half an hour. You will never know the difference once it is done.

Thanks. That's probably what I'm going to do.

this is what happen to me, I was driving by a golf course and a golfball hit my sidepanel, I went in and was all pissed off and they gave me a number to call, a person came over, took a look at the dent and gave me check to fix it. u might wanna do that. Although it seems kinda shady. but whatever
