UNshaving door handles

[Mr. Clean]

I have new doors but they are gutted and this has potential to be free besides just some minor door work...

i am getting it painted soon so i can get it fixed pretty easy.

i've already had the debate on page 1 about how much of a pain in the ballz it will be to wire up a new set of doors, putting window regulators/window blah blah vs. just whacking a bondo plate off.

i would have changed the door perhaps if it was a welded plate because then your dealing with grinding rather than sanding. i mean this is plaster vs. metal now, so i am ahead of the game with bondo on the door. im just wondering how bad a body guy thinks this will jack my paint up. if it will just crack the bondo in the area thats ok... it can be sanded off, but i just dont want to to crack the paint past an inch or two off the handle.
