Thanks, that's the kind of info I'm looking for. The local trade school is right down the street from where I work on my cars and they teach auto body and paint but I don't have the time or bandwidth to dedicate a year or two of being in class. I've reached out to at least one painter I know to instruct me for pay, that's a possibility.
The door dent is significant; not sure if it happened from the door over extending but that is what it looks like. I was interested in getting one of those pullers where you braise(?) a small rod to the sheet metal and then use a slide hammer to pull it out. I saw a video once of a person using several at once and a bridge contraption that allowed them all to be pulled along the line of the dent. If I can find it, I'll post here. It seems like dents like to be pulled out as opposed to hammered or pushed out? Does anyone know about this? Obviously, sometimes getting behind a dent is not practical or possible.
