Default ripple dents..

i plan on getting a paint job soon and my door has major ripples on the passenger side. i bought the car like this. i just wanted to know is it repairable or should i just go look for another door?

i was able to get mine out.. mine didnt seem to be as bad as yours, but any good body man should be able to knock those out no problem. if you want my opinion i'd get another oem door,, i just wouldnt want all that mud slapped on my door you know.
good luck

trust me on this one............i was in the same boat as u are then got my car painted tought that they would do at least an aight* job u know ..............well guess what i thought wrong. a good body guy should knock it out but getting a new clean dentless door gets u more confident that ur door is gonna come out clean.......................oh yah and my car is in the shop to get another paint job because of the stupid ripples and yup I replaced the door this time (which i really should have done the first time).

^^^^^^^ skins are possible to do in hondas but shop would have to take the old one out and weld the new one in so they charge u up the *** for it .......oh and sombody told me it hard to do (if ur thinking of putting the skin urself)

"get a new door"
