Brian, Find a "dent wizard" or other type shop, bring cash...and negotiate...for a single ding, they should accept $50 to $75 cash. More if it is in a difficult to access location, that requires removal of stuff. | ||

Is it just a paint chip or is the metal bent? I assume a ding is a dent but terms differ in different areas. | ||

find out who your local "door ding" fixer is. if you live in any decent sized place there probably are a couple guys that do all the work for the dealers. they'll drill a small hole on the inside of the door (the part when you open the door is flat) then use an L-shaped tool and basically "roll" the ding out from inside the door. if your guy is good it honestly looks good as new. typically they'll plug the hole with a color-coded rubber plug (not that it really matters since you can't see the hole unless the door is open and you actually look at that part of the door). do it at the dealer and i would guess $100-200 per panel, find out who does it and call him direct, i would expect he'd charge half. but like DES said, these things happen and i wouldn't sweat it too much or at least wait until you have a couple in that panel!! | ||

Brian, these dings happen, sometimes...  Seriously, though... when you use something, it's appearance shows that you use it... If it's as 'really small, little and tiny' as you say it is, then it's probably unnoticeable to anyone except you... i wouldn't worry about it... Go out and go for a drive... That'll make you feel better... | ||
