Seeing a little corrosion on my ST doors, not only in the usual corners but also the white stuff on the bottom of the outside.

Can I just pull them off and take them to a local body shop expecting them to repair and repaint to match, or am I asking too much of a standard shop?

Thanks

Joe

The white powder is galvanic corrosion where the steel frame is cording the aluminum skin. if it hasnet created holes in the skin, you can pull teh skin, treat the corsion, repaint and reassemble. the the reality is new doors are usually cheaper.

Thanks, if that's the case, I will let it go for a bit, and get new doors. Inside of the doors aren't too bad yet.
