A real job will take paint off the door, take out the dents, then take paint off the rear fender so they can blend the paint well. There's a chance of the paint they use on the door to be slightly different from the OEM paint, so this is the best approach to reduce that.

It is a pretty penny though. Some of the paint cracked when someone broke into my car (at 2000 miles!!!) and the body shop took care of it the way I describe it above.

The paint job was fantastic though...you can't tell at all that it was repainted. And I have a very keen eye for stuff like this.

I too, worried about this info showing up on Carfax, but it is better than the door slowly rotting due to rust that could have developed. I'm not sure how feasible it is to swap the door out...is there a VIN that is on the door that could maybe not match the rest of the car?
