Sweet... Already on bare metal so thats a time saving  will try and clean it out and sand down the edges of the paint for a smoother thing i suppose... With enough polishing and elbow grease do you think it could look like that wasnt there or will it look dodgy with fresh paint on the old stuff?

Like i said before timon its not dents... The paint has come off down to the metal but no dents... All the arches are like that aswell paint off at the bottoms but no dents... How can you tell its seen a spray job aswell? I am clueless when it comes to that lol... Surely if its been sprayed before it shouldnt be like that?

You need to sand it back to a flat surface within the surrounding area in order to disguise the job, otherwise you'll colour code a patch that's not as thick as the paint work around it. That or filler to bring it back to the same level.

sand it down so you can see the rings of primer, paint and lacquer around it. then dust a little primer over the top and sand that down, then it's paint your basecoat (colour) over the top of it (each time you paint you covering over the edge of the last step), then its lacquer over that and if your not painting right from one edge of the door to the other you then need to use fade out spray so you dont get a lacquer edge.
doors arent easy, there's a reason people do 3 years as apprentises to learnt to paint cars lol..
