CCL123 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Hi everyone, Some jerk decided to make a dent on the side of my drivers door. The actual dent itself is not big, like the size of a dime, but for some reason the surrounding area seems to have caved in a little as well, causing the total dent to be around 2 inches. What seems weird is that the surrounding area seems to get bigger :S I know you can drill the dent and fill it up with some sort of material, but to make things easier I was thinking of just getting those body coloured side guards and sticking them over the dent? I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with covering up dents? Thank you in advance! Edited March 12, 2012 by CCL123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpio Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Try one of those dent repair companies - they can work wonders on door dings etc. No body work, and relatively inexpensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, some of those guys do fantastic work. I've had lots of paintless ding repair jobs done over the years and the results have always been awesome. My guy charges $40.00 to $100.00 per ding/dent depending on how hard it is to get to the backside of the damage. Always let a paintless guy look at it before letting a body shop bondo-up and repaint your vehicle!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOEHIO Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yup, you can't beat these dent repair guys. The wife has a dent in the drivers door and passengers door, no paint damage, just dents. My dealership put me in contact with this guy, did both dents for $90, a lot less than a body shop, and they probably would have used body filler and door repaint. Check it out.

richy Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 The above responses are spot-on! They're called PDR or paintless dent repair guys. They are (or can be) magicians. Ask your used car manager at your dealership: I guarantee he uses one! Only use body work as a last resort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
