Hi all, this damage happened to drivers side door in a car park. Concrete pillar. Can this be skillfully pressed out and repainted or would it need a new door? Considering whether it would be better to repair or buy a whole door from salvage and hoping the colour match is good.

Grateful for opinions!

It would be far cheaper to replace the door and if needs be, have it repainted, than try repair that severity of damage (and then, of course, would need repainted).

If you can find one in colour, all the better. Since its only cosmetic, there is no time pressure so you can search and search for an in colour door to become available.

Thanks! Will set a saved search on that well known auction site.
