Door ding...

fullsmoke · 11-08-2009, 07:43 PM

I discovered today that I have a nickel sized dent/scratch due to what looks like someone flinging their door open. It is located just behind and above the fish gill on the passenger side (pics taken at night and car is filthy). Yep, I love people... Any suggestions? Any mobile ding doctors you guys recommend?

If it's down to or through the primer it's gonna require a respray.

God I hate people who doesn't respect other people's cars.

Looks like the paint is chipped?? If not, I had an excellent experience with a guy in Huntsville regarding removing dings..

Who did you use, phil? I do not think it's down to the primer but there is a dent.

it looks to me like the paint is down to the primer. I COULD be the pic though. Let's put it this way, if you can see the paint and catch your fingernail on the clear, you're gonna need to re-spray it. Maybe it's just me but it doesn't look dinged. It doesn't look like the sheet metal has been deformed, it looks like the clear coat has been scrapped down to the base coat. Meaning a trip to the body shop or some work with some U-Pol clearcoat and alot of sanding/buffing.

I hate people. This is why I park as far away from people and generally in the corner spot as much as possible with one side of the car on the curb and twice the distance between my outside wheels and the line than should normally be there.

Then ofcourse you get the obliviots that judge thier parking based on distance rather than the lines and end up parking IN my space. Those people get the generic note left on thier windshield that reads, "The general rule of thumb is one car per spot - asshole." Is it just me or is it getting harder and harder to have nice things in this world?

Yours is a lot better than mine, took mine straight down to the fucking bare metal on the door of my FC..... and the asshole had the BALLS to keep their car parked next to mine with my paint still on the edge of their door as irrefutable evidence. I haven't done anything to that car yet (I'm lucky enough this asshole goes to the same college I do) so I wrote down every bit of information I could about his car: License, make/model/color, etc. I'm half tempted to give it the pocket screwdriver, THEN turn over this information to all the local car forums.... or maybe just turn it over to the local car forums and have them do the dirty work.

I ran out of time today but I'll post better pics tomorrow (hopefully). I don't think it's down to the primer but there is metal deformation. I'm just looking for recommendations on paint/dent guys in Huntsville. Any recommendations?

P.S. If I ever figure out who did it, I'm going to choke them.

I don't know who it was but I'm sure the guys at TVRX8 knows. I would ask Dan.

If no luck, let me know. There is a guy Miata guys used and he seems to be pretty good also. I need to take a small ding away myself.
