I just realized 6 scratches right under the driver side door after one day of driving my baby.. I cant possibly figure out how it happened since its in a weird location. I was wondering if there is any way to touch up these or do I have to get the whole part repainted.

Thanks for any advice

You may have to repaint that panel. The smaller ones, you may be able to wet sand and buff them out. The bodyshop did that with my FRP HT but then again it was just painted 3 weeks ago. So that might not be an option for you.

 

How much would repainting that panel cost?

 

Not sure. Try calling Active Auto Body in Mountain View. Shawn is my friend and does very good work. Tell him Chris sent you from s2ki.com

Thank you i'll keep that number handy.

 

How long have you had your car?

I bet it happened at the dealership during PDI

 

It could have been cause by shoes, bags or anything dragged accross the side skirt while getting in and out.

 

It looks like the scratches came from someone's shoe while getting in and out of the car.

 

If you get this painted, make sure they pay special attention to the 'textured area' underneath where the chip gaurd is applied.

 

did you close the door shut on something and then drove off, did you?
