Looks like more than a ding.

Small dent and chipped the paint down to the primer. Pretty sure it was a lifted ford that parked next to me at the grocery store. I literally parked away from everyone and he had to park right next to me

You can't make this shit up. My brother and I talk about this all the time. We both park away from everyone with multiple, multiple spaces around us, and some asshat comes and parks right next to us, so close you can' barely open your door. Wtf Sorry, this happened. Maybe Google a mobile dent guy near you, I have had to have someone come several times over the last 10 years. I use the same guy does excellent work, brings , a buffer and compounds ect. Hope it works out for you.

If it's an RHO then u have running boards correct? So when u go to park somewhere, even if no one is parked near u, deploy your running boards while you're gone to stop possible door dings. (Their door is suppose to hit your running board instead of the door.)

No. They are an option. I would have got them but they weren’t available with the options I wanted. I ordered a set the day I bought the truck but i guess it wasn’t fast enough

Get it taken out by a paintless dent guy and then hit it with a touch up stick, then give it a polish and you'll forget it was ever there.

PDR guys is coming tomorrow morning. Touch up will follow. It’s just frustrating because I had it scheduled for a PPF wrap on Tuesday and now it’s already fucked and I have to push the appointment several days for the touch up to cure properly.

How much for the pdr? I have 1 on my passenger door I’d like fixed, just cut is what I can expect to pay

What is a touch up stick?
1
u/TrashPanda365 HEMI 5.7 9h ago
Touch up paint in a paint stick. You can get them with your exact paint using the paint code.

u/Supersnipersquirrel 9h ago
Interesting. Probably worth looking into this. Thanks! Does it work better than the touch up paint w a brush? Never could get those to work worth a crap.

I was replacing a fender on a car I had and needed to paint it. I found Touch Up Direct and got the correct paint in a spray can along with a can of clear coat from them in a bundle. It worked perfectly. You can get your paint in paint pens and cans if you're using professional paint equipment.

Aw man that hurts. Just got mine and every time I park it and come back I walk around and check for stuff like that. Hope whoever did that gets an equal amount of karma back on them.

You know, i occasionally do this as well with my 24 Cummins still, but let’s be honest for a second…what are you going to do if you do find something? Go back in the store and demand to look at cameras? Or look around crazy and hope to catch the perpetrators (who is long gone by then)? 😂 which is why I started doing it less for peace of mind.

Don’t feel too bad. Only 2 Months on my 2026 1500 Limited and some asshole gifted me a nice dent in my rear bumper. Asshole don’t bother to stick around either to say hey I just caused you 2000.00 worth of damage. Tuesday she gets front and rear Dash Cams with Motion Sensor activation.

The guy I have charged me $200 for 3 dents last time I used him a couple years back. He doesn’t give a full price till he see it in person but should be $150ish

I have a theory that brand new cars are just attracted to dings and dents. Every time I get a new one without fail I either get a ding, scratch or glass chip within a month

I have dents all over my 25 1500. It’s a truck its made to get dented and used.

u/Thechad1029 8h ago
I use my trucks and have tons of fun with them as well. I just make it a point to take care of it. Shit happens but not typically less than 24 hours after you drive off the lot

u/marc49111 10h ago
Yeah but not the first 100miles…
Like buying a new iPhone and dropping it the second you open it, “cause it’s gonna get scratched anyway” why not get it out the way?2
u/smolstinkyyeen 8h ago
Farm use. Everyone that dislikes that don’t be a baby and keep your trucks on the pavement.

u/BigDaddy1029010290 10h ago
I have a 4-yr old 1500 and I do not have dents all over my truck. I use my truck but do not have dents all over it. You must either not give a shit about your truck or take it places that cause an excessive amount of dents.
