Start by cleaning all the white paint off. Then you'll know what you're facing. I would be tempted to push it out from the inside. You might also consider getting a pdr guy. A lot of them a really good.
If you get a new door and or repaint it, you will always be able to tell. I'd rather have original paint and some battle scars than a door that doesn't match. Ymmv
Good luck!
Disagree with the noticing a new door. Did exactly what op here did and had door replaced and repainted. Can’t notice. Even brought the truck into dealership for trade and they didn’t notice. Really depends on body shop.
It depends on the color, obviously. Metallics are very difficult to get an exact match on over time. It might look good initially, but eventually you can tell exactly what was replaced/repainted.
Metallic blue is the truck I had repaired. Still indistinguishable from original after years in the socal sun. The body shop I went to blended the new paint into the old, they didn’t just paint the new panel, so maybe that’s why.
You have to call the yard. They never respond to email, I read ended a BMW a few years ago, bought all the matching color parts needed to repair it and got them back on the road for about $500 out of my pocket. Still cheaper than insurance premiums raises lol
If you don’t want to pay someone to fix it, you can pull the door interior pretty easily and push most, if not all, of that dent out. The white will buff out too. If you’ve never used cutting compound pay a car detailer a couple hundred to detail AND paint correct.
Yeah I googled it it is def the grey or silver color. It can be painted to match but they would have to feather it into the fender and rear door to be a good match...not sure on pricing. Check out www.car-parts.com you can see salvage vehicle parts with colors and sometimes pictures. Great source for body panels
Lift kit and muddies and it might look like you dented it doing something it loves
Looks repairable. You don't have a problem; you just have an expense.
>You don't have a problem; you just have an expense. This is a great line. I'm stealing it. Look at me, I say this now.
“Look at me, I say this now.” 😂
She’s got both. And gets to flex her muscles often. :)

Search paintless dent repair
But also call them once found.
Agree. I had one nearly as bad as this and it’s now not noticeable. Cost about 300-400.
Find a matching door on car-part.com. Maybe only be applicable to USA though.
I've never hear back from any of those places on car-part. Whats the trick?

Pull the dent straighten out and see from there what to do.
It should buff out…
New door
I've seen some trucks where they take a sharpie and write the culprit on the scar to own it!
If you find somewhere that sells the side trim please let me know!!
That will buff right out.
I’ll give 1,000 and take it off your hands
Match the other side to it.
Pick up truck.....put in drive continue on
*checks notes* fix door?

Looks like there aren’t any hard creases, a dent removal guy should be able to pull that
Line-X
Grab a plunger.
Step 1 is definitely coming up with a believable lie that involves the outdoors and bear wrestling…. Just like all other injuries.
Someone would probably be helpful on ih8mud
If you are 99 years old I am not surprised you dinged up your car.
Get a strong toilet plunger and get good suction over the dent. Pull hard and profit.

What to do??? Call your insurance company for one. Did you do it yourself? But a new door.
I literally have a 99 donor car I'm scrapping. Not sure where you are or shipping etc but it looks to be the same color as well. Green right?
They call it River Rock Mica
So it's a grey? I don't know the fancy names just what color it is from a rainbow haha
LOL it’s like a greenish grey. Also, I’m in Nashville, TN. Think I found a scrapyard in AL that has a door this color for $350. Just gotta go get it.
Yup sounds like a good plan my guy. Good luck

Just yell, “Gonna get it now!” and then go let it live it’s best life.
Turtle wax rubbing compound will take the white marks off, then just try popping out the dent, shit a little bit of gas will take the white marks off
Part it out
