Default Ding Removal

I discovered a small ding on the passenger door today, does anyone know how much it usually costs to get that removed ?


Thx

Three weeks out of the box, and some(woman)body backs into my Super Black Touring Z, slightly gouging the rear bumper. We all need advice about DIY repairs for these annoyances. I join the call for HELP from autobody pro!

If you can get in on a group buy, the price can be in the $20-30 range per dent...

I've seen non-GB prices around $45 per dent about 1" in circumference or less.

I've seen them get door dings out with a piece of metal (somewhat like a ruler with bends and thicker) and some sort of hammer. At a dent Z meet, I brought my g/f's RSX and the dent guy put the piece of metal into the area where the window goes down (window must be down to be accessible) and then puts the end of the metal behind (or around?) the dent. He then hammers from the front... but I can't be too specific or even accurate with that fact since I had to turn my head

But WALLAH! A few pounds on the door ater and the dent was gone, and this was a dent on a bend at that! It looked great. All in all, it took the guy like five minutes or so to get three small dents (<= 1") out of the passenger door...
