Ding Repair
Anyone ever repair there a small ding with a painrless repair kit and has a recommendation on which works well.

 

[Dr. Jim]

My recommendation would be to have it done professionally by a paintless repair company. They have the equipment and expertise to do the job perfectly.

Do you have pics of the ding? I tend to agree with the above post that a dent repair company can work magic for not a lot of money. Just make sure you go to someone good! If it's a tiny chip as opposed to a dent you can try some touch up paint but for a dent I would do as stated above

I've got a crease in my door from someone's else's door hitting it. Didn't break the paint but can see in right angle. Can those be fixed by this process?

It should be able to be pulled out

Its typically $50-$80 depending on the size. Its an art and you can do more damage than good. Leave it to the pro's to finesse it out.

Just got a door ding this past week under the passenger front door handle of my truck. With the doors being aluminum I was just wondering if anyone experienced any issues with professionals fixing them or increased cost?

I had a small ding in my passenger door taken out by a PDR shop. It was at the lower crease, about 6" up from the bottom. They charged me $100 if I remember correctly. It seemed a bit pricey, but they did a perfect job. The doors are steel on these trucks- take a magnet to it. The hood and tailgate are aluminum though.

I have one there too, albeit my fault for letting the door tap a car's sideview mirror. I don't know if it's my imagination, but the metal seems thinner/flimsier than my '04 Ram. Nonetheless, my auto detailer was able to get some of the ding out. I'd say it's about 50% better but still noticeable..at least to me. I will say if you're going to have a door ding, at least that spot isn't as obvious as right in the middle fo the door.

the sheet metal is definitely really flimsy. try noticing the sheet metal vibrate next time you close your rear door. also, i always shut my doors really quietly when i go hunting, by pushing it until it latches. well i almost panicked when i felt my door handle "pop" in the first time i did this on my rebel. no damage occurred, as it popped back out. but yeah the metal is flimsy lol
