Default Ugh - Door ding Questions

Aaarrggh. I dinged my door on a lightpost. :oops:

It's really small, didn't break the paint and I think I can get to it from the back if I take the door panel off. My question is

What's the best way to repair it? Just push on it? Use some thing to roll over it? Use a flat bar on top and tap on it? What's the recommended technique?

I don't want to make it worse. Any suggestions or things to watch out for would be helpful

Call a dent specialist...like Dent Wizard or something. My friend had dents on his WRX and the Dent Wizard guy fixed it no problem...

I'll ditto that. If the paint is unbroken, some of those dent fixer folks can work magic, but it takes expertise and tools to do it. The price of that knowledge isn't too much, though.

I have experience with the dent wizard and they are really awesome. They can so the whole car for a hundred bucks. The tools the use are long metal rods with a curved end on them. the work the metal from behind. I was searching the other day for those tools. Try and do a google search for "paintless dent repair"
