Default Paint people - bent door

long story short someone smacked my door off a wall today and its bent the edge in about 10mm

what I was wondering was, can it be 'knocked' straight again without cracking the paint? I doubt it...but what if the paint is het up?

chaps paying for it anyway, but would rather not get the door/quarter painted if possible

I'd be knocking straight the nugget that bent your door first!

To answer you're question though, i have no idea!

Yep, I've had my passenger door on my Focus "dropped" into the door of my wife's car twice and on both occasions it bent it back Dentman has repaired it twice now and you would never know.
