Help With Some Body Work
CAN ANYONE TELL IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO FIX MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WHERE MY MIRROR WAS PULLED OFF? IN THE SPOT WHERE THE MIRROR IS MOUNTED, IT IS PULLED OUT A BIT. IS THIS SOMETHING I CAN FIX MYSELF WITHOUT TAKING IT TO A BODY SHOP? CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME TIPS ON HOW TO DO IT?

Johnny: Well you will need to hammer it back to where is it pretty close or perfectly flat and you will be fine. I would place something on the hammer so it will not scar the paint.
Now if you want to get deep into it..........bring it back down with the hammer and use a body filler to get it good and flat. Take 180 grit and get the ridges out of the filler and 300 or finer grit to take the 180 sadning lines out. Blend in your filler and get a local shop to paint. Note. to add the filler you must take all of the paint off the bad spot in the door.
