?stone hit passengers door?

My poor MINI took a hit to the passenger door. I think when my husband was cutting the grass something must have been thrown, probably a stone, and hit the door. It left a ding and took a small chip out of the paint. Very disappointing.
Anyone have this happen? Wondering if this can be repaired easily and so it isn't noticeable.

I took out the side glass on a Dodge I used to have, with the lawn mower, in the exact same way as your ding. That glass just turned into clear gravel!

Take it to a paintless dent repair place, they do paint too and are cheaper than a regular body shop.

Gotta get to one next week. Go to a lot of trouble to avoid shopping carts and congested areas of parking lots to get hit in my own driveway.

Pulling out the Microtel in Robbinsville a guy using a weed wackier threw a rock and hit my windshield. What timing. The bad part is it's right in front of the driver.
