First scratch on my 328i

ahaxton · 12-08-2006, 04:03 PM

Mother doesn't put on seatbelt correctly. Seatbelt gets stuck outside a bit and the door slams onto the metal part scratching the paint on the interior of the door. So when you open the front passenger door now right where the metal bends is a dime sized scratch. How much does it cost to fix stuff like that?

u have to either

1. use touch up paint (cheap fix)
2. reapint the whole panel (expensive fix)

Do a

in the wash / wax / detail subforum...

For something that small, and especially since it's on the interior of the door, I'd say get some touch up paint...

Will it rust on the interior of the door if not fixed real soon?

Im royally pissed....

You can get that directly from your dealer.

Or you can try: http://www.paintscratch.com/

i bet that would work fine for you, i would try it before thinking about re painting the whole door panel

use touch up, you don't even see it when the door is closed

SEE ABOVE

My mother cried and said she was sorry.

I guess I'll just use the touch up paint. Don't want to go for the repaint than she'll know it cost tons to fix.

Wow, I feel your pain. A passenger of mine hastily unbuckled the seat belt and I saw the metal fly up then down ... all I was thinking was did that just cause any damage?

Get it fixed as soon as you can.

ahaxton · 12-08-2006, 09:55 PM

When I go in for my weekly wash tomorrow morning Im going to stop by the dealership to get the touch up paint.
