Had something fall into one of the door panels the other day and put a small hole in it. Don't really want to replace the entire door just for this small ding. Is there a product made to fix this just by filling in and smoothing over (something like bondo for a metal body car)? Or any suggestions this side of taking it to a body repair person? Car has some "personality" from its previous 180k miles and am satisfied with keeping appearances good but not great since mechanically it is a sound runner. Hole concerns me as far as moisture getting into door panel and creating more problems?

IT MIGHT BE CHEAPER TO JUST GET A SMALL CAN OF BODY SEALER AND SANDING PARER AND SPRAY PRIMER.
