Default Door Repair

So basically I backed my car into my grandpa's trailer. Any suggestions.

If you lived anywhere near a junkyard that had a Camaro door that matched your color you could just swap it out. I had similar damage to that on my red 93 Z28's passenger side door. I just found a red door in a junkyard and put it on, no fuss and no painting.

Sand it down, fill it in, keep the paint below the body line.

Yeah I checked all of my local junk yards. No luck. They're all green or blue, or white, or seems to be every f***ing color BUT maroon......

Yeah see every junk yard I went to they were like $250+... I'm sure shipping on a whole door will be super expensive though.

You'd be surprised. Get a freight quote from those guys, mine didn't cost too much to get shipped to me. I can't remember the exact price, but this was in 2002 and I still remember it being very reasonable.
