I had a minor chip on my door frame and took it to an autobody place. They straightened out the minor misshapen area and then I touched up with paint from the Ford dealer. It's almost impossible to tell now that there was any damage, though I suppose if you looked closely enough you could tell.

I also dealt with a little scratching I got after taking the car to the car wash (don't ask me how they managed to do that). I touched it up and had the scratch repaired, but it's not perfect, as I did it on the cheap. I was told to make it perfect, I'd have to spend $2,000 for them to repaint that entire area of my car. Not doing that.

wow. looks great. I imagine white is likely the most difficult color because you are putting light over dark spots. I have a dr. colorchip set for my mustang, but haven't had cause to use it yet (knock on wood)

Any ideas for a light key scratch on the black plastic area that surrounds the doors?
