Last night while i was getting my car washed and waxed, I noticed two dings on my passenger side doors, I was furious but I knew for certain that it must've been other cars that opened their doors straight into mine. In thailand, they're mostly girls who are careless enough to mess up other people's property while they're parked, cuz most of the guys love their cars and they have enough courtesy to be careful. Anyways, I just need to get them fixed somehow, i've been restless all night. The paint is fine but its just the metal thats dent a little bit. Any idea how I can get it fixed or any fast DIY that I can perform??? Please help me out...

If the paint is not damaged, there are usually several dent removal businesses in most cities. They can be pretty reasonable.

I have found there are two types of paintless dent removal methods. A common one is to pull the dent from the front. It does a pretty good job but not always perfect. I have found a dent removal service that does it from the rear. They will get access to the metal and work it out. It is a little more but I have had a couple of really tough door dings on curved surfaces that they have done a perfect job. I would highly recommend the extra $25-$50 for this service.
