How about you post a pic of it first. Then we can gauge if you should use dry ice, or hair dryer, or call in a professional.

Paintless dent removal is good but the have to drill a hole in your car. If it is as minty as you say then I wouldn't do that. I also wouldn't get it repainted. Get a quote, collect the money and deal with the dent. It sucks but it is your original paint and one little ding won't effect the value, but repainting the door will make a buyer wonder.

you dont need to paint your door....ridiculous
just get PDR. go to any body shop and tell them you want them to take out a dents. its very simple and easy. basically they have sticks that they use to straighten out the dents from behind the door. you get the point.
less than $100. Maybe like 30 at the most

WRONG.
if the PDR guy needs to drill a hole, LEAVE. Take it to someone who knows what they are doing.

The guy that did my cars did a great job and he does a lot of other cars I know. I am pretty surprised that your guy doesn't drill a hole. Now I am pissed. Thanks, now I need to go find one to do my new car.

I have an appointment tuesday. Im going with dent wizard PDR. There is no way I will let them drill a hole. Definitely not repainting my door over a small door ding. Thanks

There are exceptions to everything. .However, in this case no holes need to be drilled. Before you pay you should inspect it with the PRD man's grey card. The card is used to direct light onto the paint so that any imperfections are magnified.

My local PDR guy has never needed to drill any holes. First time I've heard about doing that as part of the process. I've had a few cars done with them and they charge about $70 per panel.

Re: I need help my first door ding :(
Just got my ding fixed. Guy have 23 years experience. Cost me 85 dollars and I gave him extra 10 tip. The ding is not visible at all unless you look at the angle you still could see it but barely barely noticeable. Im very impress and satified. PDR is the way to go. He did it less then an hr. No holes drill. All I can say is WOW great job!!
