Default Removing door ding dent

My black jeep got hit with someone else's car door and has now left a small dent and chipped paint. I have ordered new paint but how do I remove the dent?

Other people have zero respect for others people stuff cause they would have had to hit pretty hard to cause the dent and chipped paint.

Go to one the paintless dent repair shops. They do hail damage and repairs like yours. I've used them and it turns out great. Your right about people not caring about your rig, it sucks!

True that. Stupid stuff like door dings is worse than scraping up against a tree in my eyes

That was the first thing I noticed on my Sport. There is no body protection between the fenders. I bought a set of Smittybilt rock rails. The first week I had them on I saw blue paint on the driver side. It wiped right off, but someone has a nice dent in the corner on their door for being an idiot.

X2 on a dentless repair person. Ask around and find one with a good reputation. You will be surprised what they can do..

I have 4 door dings in mine now, and I have had it about a year and a half. I was thinking about taking it into one of those paintless dent removal places, but I haven't really taken the time to get that done yet.

I have the stock rubi sliders now, but am looking forward to picking up some new sliders that extend out from the body more to not only protect from the rocks, but from parking lot a-holes and kids.

I use to fix door dings etc. Now a days, the going price is about a $100 a dent. The dent must be accessable to get a tool inside the door. If not, you have to repair it the outside way (drill, pull, sand).
Shop around - a lot of people who fix them. Are just out of school.
