Default New Door Ding!

Well, it is official... I will now park my car out in BFE to avoid anymore door dings! My right rear passenger side fender has another ding it! This makes two now. I was going to have the paint-less dent removal done to get rid of the first one, but then I thought, it will probably just happen again. Well it did. I am not too fond of the idea having a hole drilled in the door jam and a plastic cap put in place... but the dents...
Has anyone who has tried the paint-less dent removal give me some feed-back? Does it fully get rid of any evidence of a ding? My paint looks good, and there is no crease. Average cost for 2 dents?

I've seen it done before, couldn't tell it was done, except for the holes in the door jamb

I always park way out, and take up two spots.

I've used the painless dent remover, but I've seen it take paint off with it sometimes.

maybe they are from not having SFCs? I know that can cause dimples in the rear quarters after a while due to body flex

I personally had a ding removed from a truck I owned previously. It was a black truck and you couldn't see the ding at all, NOT ONE BIT. It cost me $50 to have it removed and it was well worth it. I would imagine you could get 2 done cheaper and it is possible they could do it from inside if it is on the rear panel. Just google it and find someone that will give you an estimate.

Thanks for the suggestions guys/gals! i have boxed SFC's, put on the car from day one, so it shouldn't be from torque damage...
I am going to check out the paintless dent removal.

I had tons of little dings taken out with paintless dent removal. They did drill a 0.5" hole in my door jamb and worked the dents out from the inside, so there was no way any paint was coming off. The holes were filled with grommets afterwards, and if I ever get another ding, I can just take it back to the same guy and he has an access hole to work with.
