will a dent show after wrapping?

It's kinda hard to get a good picture of a decent ding you can see at an angle. About 5 inches long not super deep though.

Will vinyl wrapping contour to it or fill it in and look fine?

Unfortunately yes. Wrapping the car doesn't fill the dents but it will help with scratches

I wonder if you could fill it in with something, smooth it, then wrap.

I found a guy said he can maybe do it for like $100, sucky that I'm out $100, but it could be worse I guess.

Worst case I can probably find a part out and snag one off that, all I need is the shape.

Find a reputable paint-less door ding repair place. I had one ding removed ten years ago and the paint hasn't flaked off or anything. Pretty cool.

The dent is like a wave down the whole door. A tiny bit of chipped paint.

Anyone know much I could expect? Anyone know a good one in Wa?
