Default cost to fix dents

does anyone know roughly how much would a panelbeater charge to fix 5 or 6 small dents in an nl fairlane, they're all on the drivers side back door and fairly close togeather and also to touch up afew scratches.

no its for sale and i went and had a look at it and didnt have a phone camera but they're fairly small and not very deep, just normal small dents but for the price they're asking its still a good buy i was just wondering how much id be up for to get that fixed.

Well to respray a hole rear door will run you 300-400 pending on paint base you use, repairs, sanding, blending ect ect, but as said pic's would help for a rough quote.

Send us a PM if your keen to get it fixed (if you buy the car) my brother is a spray painter and with some pic's he will be able to give you a rough quote.

you really need to show people a pic to get a better idea of what it would cost to repair. one small dint to you may be a big dint to other people hence changing the quoted price.

I got quoted $980 to fix that one in my door (not the bumper and lights etc. they were an insurance job, that price was to do the door after insurance fixed up that other damage)
Replacement door is only $150ish if i can find the colour!

yeah, i think i know what you mean, just little incidentals, like stonechips, but theyve dented the panels. if that makes sense.

would also be interested in finding out the price of this as i dont reeeeally want to have to respray my entire car to get the body nice and straight.
