Door Ding...

Looks like someone opened their door and hit the lower panel on my rear passenger door...2017 silver tacoma- what would you do?

Can see some scratches, you can see two dents if you look from the side, and three 1/4" nicks of paint gone. I always park miles away from people so I am not even sure when it happened but I do know it happened and ...well, I guess the ole truck is scratched now

 

any ideas on fix or cost? Should I take it to someone?

 

Paintless dent repair, or wear your battle wound proudly and buy some good beer instead.

 

Some Sliders might help prevent the next door ding.

 

I thought this thread was about @DoorDing

 

I had a paintless dent repair done on my truck a couple years ago. Some guy moving furniture in my apartments parking lot dinged it. I think it was like $150

 

Sliders and a lift

 

That guy who calls a hood a “bonnet”?

 

that does make sense... I will snap a few when I get home if yall are bored and want to see what I see

 

Like an old friend once told me, "You can't have nothing". He's right , it seems the harder you try to take care of something the more stuff happens to it. The last four vehicles that wife has had have been side swiped at her place of work and we never find out who did it. I'm sure they'll get their pay back someday. Lawnmowers and leaf blowers can also do alot of damage. A Rotweiller on a long chain might be some good preventive mantinence.

 

I use a set of Doorshox, will eventually get some sliders.

Some quick snaps

 

The first cut is the deepest. I don’t remember the rest of the song.

 

The dents can be brought back paintless but that missing paint will be hard to hide with touch up paint.

 

Recommend?

 

That looks more like rock chips, I would just use some touch- up paint on them.

 

Anyone have a good recommendation on touch up paint that actually matches....

 

Definitely.

 

Dr. Colorchip makes a pretty good repair kit, it's a little pricey though at around $60. I just lately used Toyotas own brand of touch up on my wife's MGM Highlander and it seems to match fairly well.
