I'm coming up empty, that's why I figured I'd ask here. A lot of greatness here.

I'm thinking your local dealer probably has line on them. If you don't want bondo on your truck why would you settle for less than an OEM panel?

If it has the folded over door skin like most doors Id replace the whole door with a clean used one then replace the skin myself. Not done right it looks like crap and can rust prematurely around the edges.

Sounds like you are going to be into that fix for more than that and you have to do all the labor. You still have to factor in primer, paint, thinner etc.At least for the deductible you will get a professional job with a guarantee.

If it's just a compression dent, and the paint isn't cracked.....take it to a paintless repair guy. My wife KILLED both of the doors on the passenger side of my 2500 Dodge quad cab. The paint wasn't hurt, but the dents were horrible. I took it to a dent doctor guy, and he fixed it to where it is impossible to tell it was ever mashed. I was tickled to death to pay him the $280 fee!

What he said or take a bathroom plunger to it if it's just pushed in and not creased.

Check out Tasca Parts online site, looks like a complete door shell is around 500 bucks and a repair panel or skin is half of that, but you need to flange the skin onto your original inner structure, more labour and patience, easy for a seasons auto body person, not so easy for a first timer. Like some one else mentioned, maybe check out a salvage yard and get one in the same color, this way no paint costs, maybe do a swap with yours for a credit and get a complete ready to go door that hasn't been stripped yet of all its guts. Good luck.

Paint is cracked. It needs to be repainted.

Do you think the dealer would have a high price on it?

Call them and ask. You might be surprised. Body panels are a very competitive business.

Spent a few hours trying to pull the dent out with the Mac shot shot.
After massaging it and pounding on both sides, the metal turned too thin and was like a potato chip.
I feel better just buying a new door. Hopefully its here in a week.
