I am debating respraying my 2000 SI and I have a few questions to ask..

I have what looks like airsoft pellet dents on my passenger side door. Could these be pulled out?

I also have what appears to be dimples in the drivers side door. It looks like someone pushed out from the inside of the door. Could these be fixed?

Thanks for any and all help.

To repair those dent you would probably make more of a mess trying to pull them you would probably be better off to just fill them. Just make sure the metal is not all stretched out. There is some good info on here about the proper steps to take when using filler, so read that stuff. As far as the dents that are sticking out they probably got there from the surounding metal being pushed in and there are glue spots along the extrusion beem inside your door, those spots wont move with the rest of the metal which causes them to stick out. You might be able to just tap them flat and lightly fill them, other wise you'll have to shrink them down in order to make sure the metal is tight.

 

If you never done PDR (paintless dent repair), I wouldn't recommend trying, but instead call Dent Wizard, most of them charge on average $50-75 per panel, if you want to drive by my shop, I'm sure I can get them out, I allways prefer massage the dings out instead of slapping bondo over them, but that's just me

 

I'm Not saying that filling them is the best way to do it, just saying thats the easiest way for the average person to do it while still being a reliable repair. So I guess the next question for 00civicsiboy is whether or not he wants to do it himself or not.
