Dent in doors anyone?

Alright guys I dont have pics as of yet but, I will have some tomorrow. I was just wondering if any of you have had small dents in doors from someone opening there door and hitting your car. Of course I park as far away from cars as possible but **** happens. Its a very small dent about an inch long and not really deep. Have any of you had gotten them out by either a body shop or yourself. Any information will help thanks.

bump anyone

Yah 600 would prob be to repaint it and everything. I was definetly talking about outsourcing. Get a referral from a dealer as to who they have pull out there dents or hit up the yellow pages.

There is nothing worse than coming back to your car, that is parked in a busy lot, and there is a ******* dent in the door. I swear to god I feel as if I need to kill someone.

About 2 months ago I was on the phone in my car at a local Target. I guy pulled in next to me not knowing that I was in the car. He swung his door open and smoked my door. I got out of the car (he was surprised to see me not knowing I was in the car) and said "WTF" I look down and there is a nice ding in my door. He said that it wasn't him. I said "The **** it wasn't" Then he said, " Don't be such a baby it's a tiny little ding." Well, that ******* pissed me off, and I ******* lost my mind. I walked over to his car, and ******* kicked his door. Left a nice dent. Guy thought I was crazy, and said he was going to call the cops. Well its over 2 months now and I haven't heard a thing. I swear I was going to fight this ******* *****. Moral of the story: "Cars are part of the family, don't **** with them."

The worst thing is when they need to repaint a whole section of your car. This means that down the road as the paint fades you will see the difference of the older paint compared to the newer paint. Therefore some dents just shouldnt be fixed.

very true!

You'll notice how shiny your new paint is compared to 1 yr+ old paint from factory. Thats why I've repainted almost every damn piece short of the frame.

lol Yeah im wishin I had the ultra silver er what ever the light silver color is. That color looks like sex on pavement and hides scratches way better. Black has always been a favorite of mine though so i got that (that and my options were yellow and red which really are not me)

I just had a huge dent in my car the other week. You can check out some of the pics in my gallery. I went to advanced auto parts and bought the "Ding King." It was like $20 and i was completely satisfied. Some of the best money i've spent
