hey guys, i have 2 dints in my drivers side door, and im pretty sure its gonna be easier to just replace the door, but what im afraid of is matching the colour, its a gun metal colour metalic, and if i replace the door with a different colour one its gonna be lucky to get the same colour!

any ideas? brainstorm time!

You can just replace the door skin. Will be much cheaper than swapping the whole door.

Any decent panel shop should be able to do it.

how big are the dents? shallow or deep? pepboys sell dent pullers (the suction cups) in various sizes from 6 bucks.

Try contacting paintless dent removal specialists to see if they are able to remove the dent without needing to respray.
