Door dings

So, my back passenger door is virtually solid dings. Any cheap way to fix this, or would I have to get them all individually removed at like 25 bucks a piece ($25x100=$2,500 ) I'm pretty sure there isn't a cheap or easy way to do it, but I figure I should check to make sure.

Thanx

100 dings in one door?! may i suggest a new parking location?

if there are that many dings, it's probably better to go with a new door? according to an estimate for my accident, a rear door shell is $425. plus a hundred or two for paint and finish. you can also find salvaged stuff for cheaper.

I bought it used like that. I couldn't believe how many there were, but it was an awesome deal

400 is way tooooooo much, it might be worth it, but I'm poor, looking for somthing under 100, which is why I figure theres no way, but I might look into a ding kit. looks like 30 bucks, but the whole glue thing scares me anyone have experience with one? how does it work/how easy is it?

Thanx

Agreed, do not use a Ding King or similar DIY-As-Seen-On-TV dent repair gizmo. They usually do not work and will damage the panel further to the point where bodywork is required to properly fix it.
Look up the local paintless dent repair professionals in your area, they are in the phone book and you should also be able to get recommendations in your local area forum. They can probably give you a price for the entire panel rather than per dent.

there goes that idea

Thanx for the warning though, I might try looking for a professional, but I just worry it'll cost a ton, or even worse cost like 150 or even 100 and I'll be torn between doing it and not, and suffer an aganizing year trying to make the decision.

Thanx though
