Dent in passenger door
It was a rainy Monday @ home depot. July 5th (I work for the government so it was a paid Holiday 
) and I'm walking out with my girlfriend 
and I walk over to the passenger side to open her door for her and one of those big orange plastic piece of **** cart was up against my door. I noticed the dent and scratches and after my girlfriend got in the truck i threw the piece of crap against the ground and orange plastic went flying. 
She didn't say a word for like 20mi cause she knew I was pissed. 
The truck is 6 months old and it's Black (If you could'nt tell)
Whats the best way to fix it?
How much?
Will they have to paint the door?
Can you see the "orange peel" in the third close up?
How do you fix that "orange peel"?
CLICK ON THE PICS FOR CLOSE UP'S
You can see the dent and the Scratch just below it.
This is a better pic of it. The scratch is down to the white primer.
Where my hand is in the reflection so yould see it. This is the other scratch that you can't see in the other pics above. Ist about 6" above the dent in the middne of the door.

wait was it a shopping cart that hit u or wtf is a carrages, if u picked up and threw to the ground an entire shoppin cart i stand in awe. 
sucks about the scratch though, 2_wacko is right though if u can get a paintless dent repair it would probally be the least expensive and you woulndt have to worry about the paint matching.

dents are never fun to find. I wish people would just pay attention to what they are doing! Anyway, if you want to get it back to perfect, you will have to take it to a body shop (since you don't want paintless dent removal -the scratch needs paint anyway) and they will probably have to paint a quarter of that door. Just my rough guess on fixing it at a body shop - $150 sorry dude, I hope the price tag turns out cheaper.
