Advice on car door dent and paint repair, in Dublin

DarraghR

Hi there. I am looking to restore a back left door on a 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA
Saloon. The dent is about half an inch deep by the looks.

I am based around Dublin 6 and need some recommendations for door and paint repair. Obviously I want the job to be done right but have little cash to be paying a high amount at the moment.

Below are a few pictures of the damage. Would I be better off looking for a new door in a scrap yard or will it look out of place as the paint might look faded?

New door be best. I'd imagion that door would be very hard to fix without a lot of filler.

€1000 for the repair or 2300 through an official dealer / garage. That sound right?

call the scrap yard, you could get a replacemtn door for a fraction of that.

You could try Carcraft in North Strand/Fairview area or get a replacement door and they will match and spray the paint.

They are saying the electronics are the bulk of the job. Looking to get this repaired today but dont want to give 1000 if its a lot less.

A new door is hard to come by and will take a while to find. On top of that it might be faded. Bit risky ordering from another county.

Have you tried t cutting the bulk of the white off first to see what you are left with.

It looks like a bad scuff.

Electrics is merely cutting through all cables probably about 12 and soldering them back together anyone with a soldering iron can do it its child's play.

1000e is crazy,
