I made a mistake - cost to fix?

How about talking to the best rated body shop in your area. Some of those dudes can do magic

 

Yep. PARTOUT

Lol

 

I would for sure get an estimate from a body shop. I’ve had fenders hit where it was fixed perfect. You have to get over the fact that all repairs and not replacements will have a skim coat of body filler. The metal is so thin on modern vehicles that there’s hardly anything to sand. A pro shop will make it as good as new and it will never chip or crack. Go call the local Ferrari dealer and ask where they get them repaired. That’s the shop to see.

 

I had similar damage and the shop re skined my door.

I chose not to give it to insurance and thus it won't appear on CarFax (another reason CarFax is not the end all)

All the VIN and other markings stayed in place, because they are on the frame that was reused, not the skin that was replaced.

Just an option to consider as you work it out with your body shop guy.

Isn't the black a mica paint? That will require blending into surrounding panels. Mine was Super white, so no blend required.

 

Agree with others who say might just want to replace the door sadly the scratches look deep and a paint repair would probably need to include sanding it down etc

 

Also, dont lwt someone use fucking bondo. Unless you dont want to keep the truck long term.

 

Some touch up paint and a good off road story to attract some women.

or

replace door.

 

Dam, those are nasty gouges - i could hear the sound from here

 

Add some stars...it'll look like one of those distressed flag decals.

 

You don't need a whole door replacement, just a skin. Prolly looking at $1500 give or take.

 

Is the lower parts below the door rust?

 

Yeah, not much going on at my house today.
Chuck Norris and Harvey Dent are my faves.

 

Another good reason for Sliders.
Bad joke. Sorry for your mishap.

 

Any body shop can fix that door like new. Their going to use a stud welder to pull those dents. Once close its a matter sanding and applying filler before painting. Some shops are very reasonable. I saw one not long ago charge just under $600 to do a dented door as such.

 

I would get one of those trail rated badges of a Jeep and put it on the damaged door then find a Jeep to park next to.

 

Now that the first blood is out of the way enjoy the truck.

 

Sorry for your loss. Part out bro?

 

Door shell then swap the guts over...
Do the work your self. So EZ!!!

 

Yes! Hoping to get 43k for all the parts.
