Body work question

Hi guys! I Put a brand new tuxedo black box on my F350 and I'm getting the white cab painted to match. My question is what is the best way to take care of little door dings. The two front doors have like 4 little dings a piece. Is Bondo the only option? My biggest fear is to go threw it all and paint it and then slam the door and Bondo pops out of my fresh paint.

Body work question

If applied properly bondo won't fall out. Just follow the instructions and make sure to sand down to bare metal so it bonds properly. Depending on the size of the ding there are several options for fixing it. Spot putty, body filler, bondo, pulling the dent out, etc.

If they are merely door dings, have them spooned out. That's slang for paintless dent repair. wet sand, feather paint chips,, block/wet sand 600-800 grit, paint, clear coat, block/wet sand 1000 grit, buff and show off. Doing a color change RIGHT is very time consuming, but worth it IMO.
Good luck and show us how it turns out.
