pezzler Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Anyone available to offer any advice? I'm having my car resprayed in june, and at the same time i'm looking to have the little dings taken out in a bid to get the bodywork looking pretty much as new Unfortunately over the years, both doors have suffered a bashing from inconsiderate fat f***ers that need to fully extend their hinges to get out of their cars My questions are; Can I expect the dings on the doors to be completely unnoticable once the beater has worked his magic them, or is it a better option to just but new outers and have them reskinned? Would reskinning the doors be a big job with an ever bigger price tag? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Depends on the extent of the damage, if it extends to the very edge of the doors then it may be a better option to just get good second hand ones, i doubt new skins will be available (not cheap to do) But in general you should not notice any repairs.

Rob_Mitchell Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 not cheap to put skins on and as mentioned above 'not sure if they do them' if the dings you have are only carpark dents then these should be no problem and i would recommend going this route i.e- do the repair.

pezzler Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Repair it is, hopefully get a good finish; I guess it depends on the abilty of the bodyshop that I choose Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Go to somewhere that doesnt just slap loads of filler in the dents, when we fix problems like this we get dentmaster out to get as much of the dent out as possible. If they need re skining i'd say go find some better undamaged doors and just paint them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont it would be hard to do it without a rippled effect. As for skinning i only do that if its really bad, i dont like splitting it as it might rust later down the line. Worst case scenario could you not pick up a straight door from keron or someone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
