A few questions from a newb...

I just bought an '02 Screw with some dings. I got a real good deal on the truck and now I want to see about these dings...

I have taken pics of some of the dings:

First up, rear passenger wheel trim:


Next, on the tailgate. I have no idea what the previous owner tried to do here...



Getting worse....the rear drivers side door:



Ugh....rear door handle:

and the worst for last.....this is the rear panel right under the lights:



Anyhow any tips and tricks for any of them are appreciated. Thanks

I would add that I am a complete newb at this stuff and would gladly accept product recommendations! I have the "sticky" and haven't had time to read it yet.

How about some pics that are a little farther away so we can see the whole area? I'd hate to say it though, but all of those pics look like it's through the paint and the owner tried to touch it up.

repaint all the areas, you are looking at 600-1000 bucks your good deal doesnt look too good anymore

You're right. If it only costs a grand to get those areas fixed it was a great deal. I figured about $2k for paint. Thanks for your concern though.

I just found a thread showing how to replace a door handle so it would probably be easier to do that. I had to zoom in because they are pretty small scratches (except the tailgate). I'll get some wider shots in a day or two.
