You read your wife “the riot act”, apparently having the potential for more children is not in your future.

Why not move the car out of the electricians way in the first place?

Thanks, Mark. I had assumed it was paint, but can see how it might be bondo. I hope there isn't too much of that on this car. Either way, I will have it repaired the correct way. I'm so worried that a repainted door won't match the rest of the car.

Darker colors are easier to make invisable repairs. You should be fine.
