Damn Rocks

Hey everyone,

I'm new to forums and just recently bought a RX-8 (this past Saturday actually). Unfortunately my drive to work in the morning goes through a long construction zone and already I have a ding in the bottom of the driver's side door from a rock. I've ordered touch up paint from Mazda, but I'd really like to get it fixed. Are minor dents and dings worth taking in to get fixed and also is there an aftermarket coating like Invisashield that I could get applied to help reduce the occurance of these dents?

Thanks in advance.

could try a dent puller from a local hardware/auto part store depends on the side of the dents...or if you can get into the inside and pop it out

Have you tried paintless dent removal just to get rid of the dent, then touch up paint the spot?

Pics or it will be touch to give you solid advice.
