Well i come out of the store and noticed a nice door ding on the rear driver side door. I'm pretty sure it just happened when i was in the store because I look for the crap all the time. My door had a bit of red paint on it also, so some dumb ******* opened their door into mine. Anyways, I searched on the forums for a how-to fix door dings / dents and couldnt find anything. Could somebody point me in the right direction for a how-to? I really don't want to spend the cash to have somebody else do it. Thanks for the help

 

Depending on what kind of dent it is, the dry ice/CO2 trick might work.

I tried it on a dent on my car, but my car had more of a Creased dent, and this cannot be fixed by such a simple trick.

Thanks. Hopefully that will do the trick. I HATE looking at the dent. It makes me want to throw up.

 

After someone took out my mirror I park as far as I can from everyone. If someone does park next to me I walk around my car and look for marks. I don't trust anyone anymore.

 

I do the same. I was parked in the back away from everybody. But somebody is ALWAYS beside me when i come out. Maybe it didn't happen yesterday when i noticed, but it was within the last few days.

 

On my last car, I was at a golf outing one weekend. The next day I saw a nice golfball sized dent in my rear fender. I was steaming.
There are companies like Dent Dr. or Dent Wizard or Mr. Dent (whatever the name is) that can do a pretty good job taking out dings like that. They cost a little, but less than a body shop. Look in your local yellow pages.

Good luck.

 

You could probably remove the red paint with a clay bar. I've had enough dings that there are certain cars that I will avoid parking next to. Dodge Caravans, for instance.

 

Please contact a PDR guy and for the 75 bucks a panel they charge to take it out is way worth it.

You'll likely end up doing more damage then is there now putting chemicals on the paint or trying to stick a tool in the door and high spotting the **** out of the panel.

If you can't afford 75 bucks to do it right then maybe you should rethink your choice of vehicle

This aggravates me greatly. People have absolutely no respect for anybody's property.

As for repairs, idk if you have a dent wizard in your area, but I've used them on my old RSX and have nothing but good things to say about them. You should call some local detail shops in your area and ask if they offer any type of dent repair.

 

i had my first one too about a month ago now. sucks but i decided against having it fixed, will just put that money into something else.

 

I feel your pain, I just got my first dent. Same door Drivers rear but mine is really bad. If anyone knows where I can find an Apex Silver door I would love to pick one up!

 

Thanks for info, I'll look if there are any local ones around my area.

I'll look into this. 75$ isn't a problem at all. Just thought it'd cost a lot more than that. I never had any dings before so I was kinda in the dark on repair cost for something minor. Thanks for the info

 

Just saying, Post a pic so we can see what your talking about. You might just need to massage it a bit.

 

Find a local PDR guy as others suggested. They are usually really cheap. I only had my car a month before some retard dented my rear quarter panel up. I know exactly how you feel.

 

I use a guy called press-a-dent in my area, like 40-60 per ding depending on the size. I was just telling my buddy I work with, who in the heck is dumb enough to park next to someone and then come barelling out of the car opening the door hard enough to cause a dent. It confounds me.
