Suddenly noticed a ding? Did it magically appear while you were look at the door? Did it startle you?

Pretty much the only way to fix this would be to buy carbon fiber doors. That way when something hits them they crack instead of dent.

small dents can be fixed easily without repainting. i had 3 dents removed for $25 each dent. i was at a car show and the guy was walking around with a bag of tools removing dent. it took him less than 30 minutes and he made $75, that's a very good skill to have. he just used a couple of metal rods to get behind the dents and worked it out from the inside.

this is basically what the guy was doing to my car.

Dry ice is not that hard to get a hold of. The C02 is probably not going to work nearly as well, never even thought of that.
