Default Kids with BB guns

I have a 2013 Honda Accord that was recently shot up by a bunch of kids with bb guns. Now I am left with a driver side door with tons of little dents. Does anyone have any advice on the best approach to fix my door? I attached an image of one of the dents.

welcome to the forum. You might try using touch up paint to fill the spots, or take to a body and fender, they will sand the door down and fill in with epoxy ( bondo) and repaint the door. or replace the door with a good used with the same color. (Ebay)

yeah but what if you spend all that money with a body shop and they do it again. if i was you i would setup a HD camera if you do get it fixed then invest in a nice thick car cover. in meqn time clean off the dents with rubbing alcohol to remove any wax then use touch up paint that wat it won't start too rust.

Thanks for the feedback. Is my local Honda dealer the best place to get touch up paint? I sure hope not because that place is always packed and I work odd hours and usually prevent me from going there in person.

if you want it to match perfectly then yes otherwise after market paints like dupont will look slightly off color.

Thanks, lowlife (your user name ). I decided to order the touch up paint from Amazon since it says its a genuine part and the review seem to support it. I had a couple things to order anyhow so I didn't have to pay for shipping. For anyone who may be interested, I found the color code on the driver side door jamb sticker.

I'll let you all know how it turns out.

it will be a way better match then dupnt but realise that your cars paint has dulled over the years from UV damage. when you take a car to a professional painter they will charge a little extra to color match for that particular reason so maybe perfect color match was a bad choice of words regarding the oem honda touch up paint.but your still way better off then dupont. your also going to need a clear coat.
