My RA is over the 3 year mark. As a daily driver, its got its battle scars... especially on the passenger doors. There is one spot where I think one of the neighbor kids hit the rear passenger door with with a rock or hard ball or something, where it actually dented, then formed like a ripple ring in the paint about 18" in diameter!

I've paid to have dings and dents taken out before, especially back when I lived in Florida after hurricanes. But its not cheap and its not practice. I'd rather do it myself, but I've never done this type of work.

Any suggestions as to where should I start doing some research? I understand most of the labor is done from the inside by removing the interior paneling so you don't work on the finished surface. Any special tools needed to get the panel off without breaking the clips? thats one of my habits Any good howto's on the interweb or beginners guides anyone can suggest? The service manual is sparse on details regarding the interior and body..... Any other decent RA-specific docs?

Thanks =)
