Door skin quality

[69-72]

I had a curvature in my drivers door that wasn't going away no matter how much I beat on it so decided that doing a door skin would be an easy fix.

So I pick up a new skin at a local place, it looks nice, I get the old one off and realize it seems to weigh a lot more then the new one. The skin that was on the door was not original itself. So I attempt to weigh them, it looks like the new skin is 3-4 lbs lighter.

The biggest problem I have with all of this is that the sticker on the new skin from Key Parts lists the thickness as 1.20 mm. I get out my fancy new digital calliper and measure it and it is 0.9mm. Measure the old skin and the rest of the truck and it measures 1.20mm

From what i have read on here Key Parts is supposedly a good brand, I know if I contact them about the discrepancies that the will claim that is altered during the forming process which I can't really see since it is largely a flat panel. I don't think it is right they claim it is something it is not.

I have a thing about doing things right, I am working tirelessly to ensure that there will a minimal amount of body filler on this truck, so I just don't want to settle on the thinner panel if there is a better one out there.

Has anyone had experience with any other brands of skins recently?
