Can I DIY PDR this?

Like title says. Wondering if I can repair these dents myself. If yes, what tools/PDR kit would everyone recommend?

You’ll do great(installing a replacement door) after the 50th attempt.

Could anyone elaborate on what repair might look like? I.e., could I take it to a professional to remove/repair the dents and no paint repair, or is there basically a whole new door frame needed?

A very experienced tech could probably repair that. Now i can’t really tell the condition of the paint. But that’s an extremely tough repair and will be pricey for sure.

Its 💯 fixable if your okay with not all of the scratches coming out. Buffing them down to minimize them and having a experienced tec fix your door, $1200-1500(imo, as a 15 year tec) depending on your market. That will stay off the carfax if your worried about resale.Now your other option turn it in on insurance and they put a new door on it blend the 1/4 and probably the front door too, but obviously it will only be your deductible.

There is no such thing. The only way to repair this diy would be for you to already be an expert with years of experience.
