RivNut Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Bite the bullet and have a body shop make the repair and repaint the entire door. Money ahead in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob J Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yep, sounds like a door repaint is in order if it is that deep. I'd also make the kid pay for it. Not sure if it was your kid or not, but either way, make them do some "sweat required" work around your house to "work" the cost off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then build up some clear coat layers and try to buff it smooth by hand. Takes some patience, but it's worth a shot if you don't want to paint the door.
