So my brother was driving my father's car and he dented and scratched two doors pretty bad. Is there any solution for this? My father is pretty upset and he doesn't want to spend money to fix it
What is a Do It Yourself solution to this? Something that is pretty easy? Doesn't have too be too nice, just good enough to cover up the dents and scratches

Depending on how badly damaged, touch up paint would work. It won't be pretty, but its better than seeing the scratches.
As for dents, you could use a hair dryer and can of compressed air but no guarantee to work (depends on how bad the dent is).

AFAIK you have 4 options:
1. File a claim with insurance and see if they would fix it. Your car insurance will go up and stay up forever.
2. Buy two new doors from dealership. Its gonna be VERY expensive since labor cost a lot. If you can learn how to install the doors yourself it would save some but it would require some research before you attempt to.
3. You could try what I suggested, but it depends on how bad the damage is.
4. SOL, deal with it

This is how badly the car is dented. Is there any way to repair it partially?
The workshop charges $1,000+ to repair this

Yeah, that's pretty bad. $1,000 would not be out of line to fix that.
3 options
1. Pay the $1,000
2. Learn autobody skills (and buy all the tools you'll need)
3. Live with it

I just realized, I have a great idea! I could spray paint the car, make a design out of the dents
I'm sure it's better than just leaving it dented
But then again, my artistic skills suck and would make the car look like an even bigger disaster
Then I thought again, either I spray painted a doge meme on it like "Wow. Such crash. Many dent. Very destroy. Much bent. Wow. Or I painted "Number of f*cks I give and a big 0 sign" LOL
