Default Door Ding

Got a fresh door ding from a caring secret admirer. It is about the size of a peanut, but boy does it shine in the sun. Paint isn't chipped, thankfully.

Can I trust MAACO to tap it, or is there a better solution?

Maaco will make it worse.

If you're **** like me and want it to look as good as new, go to a good body shop and have it fixed.

I don't trust Maaco to do anything but screw something up.

you know what, i had my xa 2 weeks and i got a small ding above the passenger wheel. I thought an arrogant person hit me, but i think it was a shopping cart. You can't notice it, but now that i know it's there, it's bothering the heck out of me. take it to a body shop if you want (but you will be ripped off). if you know what your doing go to a auto store and purchase a small ding fix kit. but be careful you dont chip the paint when you pull it out

its been about 8 months since I got my ding. some careless driver at my school left a ding on my car. I got ____ed when I saw it and I knew it was an old white car that parked right next to me because it left a white scratch. when i came back the car was gone and I never see that car anymore. I dont understand how he hit me when I clearly gave him about a 5 foot gap between our cars. The white scratch is gone thanks to meguiras scratchX but the ding is still there which really annoys me

SAY NO TO MAACO, a bud of mine had a dink on his passenger side from a mustang and took it to maaco, got it painted and it looked great...until the next morning when there's daylight and the paint is totally different!

The shade of flint mica was actually plain gray!
