My dad was able to buy a piece of fiberglass to patch holes he poked in the wall of his RV.

Door skin repair

Depends how extensive you want to get into it.. I would tape it off.. And buy some body filler... you could use some bondo.. But it's a serious pain to sand if you have never worked with it... Then you can try to match it with some paint..

Go to an auto parts store and pick up some J.B. weld water weld white putty. Mix small pieces together and fill using a putty knife to get it flat as possible. Once it's dry follow up with 500 grit sand paper. Wax and it will turn out nice. Repaired holes in mine that way.

Ouch, sums it up nicely.
I'll give the J.B. weld a try. I've used bondo before. What a pain.
Thanks gang. I'll yet you know how it turns out.
Happy trails😎

Bondo is not that bad as long as you level it with a rasp and files before it is hard. I would go with the JB weld though.
