Default Door crease ding, fixable?

I have a door crease ding, you can only notice it by the way light hits it, but you can see it's a small V, not really a bubble. More of a crease in the opposite direction. You can slightly feel it. Is it too small or sharp to be fixed? It bothers me.

If there are any paintless dent remover (PDR) business in your area, have them take a look at the ding. I just had 3 similar dings repaired by PDR--all ranged from 1"-3".

Yeah, a PDR guy should be able to take care of it for you no prob. Check around with local dealerships; they ussually all have the same guy out on diff days. If you catch him there, talk to him and he will typically make you a cash deal on the side for much less than a dealership or going through a body shop charges.

Default Ding

I had a similar ding just below my driver's side door handle. Very obvious even though it was small. It was a ding and creased. Had it repaired so it is virtually unnoticeable for $350. The guy repainted the entire door and rear quarter panel to blend the paint well and it does look like new.

If there is no damage to the paint, a PDR guy will do this for $30-$50 cash.

one day I noticed that there were not one but two dents just like you talkin about. man was I flippin out, buty after I calmed down and and regained my senses, I took it to a paintless repair guy and they did it in about an hour for $105 or somthing like that.

then as the repair guy pulls it around to the front he comes flying around the corner, squeeling tires and revin the motor. I again flipped out, but eventually everything was okay.

the lack of respect for other peoples belongings just irritates the **** outta me. makes you just wanna scream.
