If it is a small dimple that has not damaged the paint you can have a person do a "PDR" paintless dent removal.
If it has damaged the paint the procedure is:
- Clean the surface of wax and grease
- Sand the painted area of the door, to bare metal at the location of the damage.
- Fill the damage.
- Prime and check the repair making sure the surface is PERFECT
- Paint the door, usually with a base coat clear coat system.
