Is any ding too small to repair?

So my 2015 has a small ding on the rear right side door. It looks like someone I parked next to might have swung open their door and made contact if I were to have a guess as to what happened. The ding is very small and only really noticeable in direct sunlight or at certain angles. However it is killing me inside. My question is, is there such thing as a ding too small or subtle for a PDR guy to be able to repair? Or is this lthe kind of thing they can deal with?

Even trying to get a picture with my phone is difficult due to the reflection of sunlight off the paint. However the ding is there without a doubt, and I want it gone. Additionally how much on average would you expect a PDR guy to charge for this?

Thanks!! Any feedback is appreciated

Life is short. If it bothers you, and you can afford it, by all means fix it. I think it would be from $50 to $80. If it's on a flat surface, it's easier to remove the ding. On an angle it's more of a challenge, but still not impossible.

The question is, is once you get it fixed, when will the next ding come along. Unfortunately, parking lots are unavoidable for most. The only way you can hope to avoid those pesky door dings is to park as far out in the lots as possible (that's something I always did when I drove more expensive cars). The added bonus is you will also get more exercise. I did have a couple of incidents however, when someone left a shopping cart next to and almost touching the car (someone obviously thought they were being funny) and another where there was some wax-type substance poured on my driver's side door. I guess you can never avoid the haters.

Yup, haters gonna hate. I used to park way out, and sure, enough, some you know what would park right next to me just to be cute.
