Well the wife came home crying....she knew I would be pissed at her new door ding.

This is not just a ding, its a door gone wild on her door. Deep scrach that will require either touch up or blend.

So I decided to take my pain and show some of the newcomers what you can do to make it....well at least a little better.

Before photo, notice all the nasty-ness of the ding and scratch, there are many parts to it. And yes this scratch goes all the way through to the metal. Big time. Photos were taken 3 inces from mark using a macro setting and approximately 2 inches long for the before photo.









I did a simple one step process to achieve the below. I used PB SSR2 (knowing that SSR3 would be way too much) with a Yellow Lake VC pad using a Flex set at speed 5.

Use this for food for thought, for all the posters that say, "damn I got keyed" or " I got a new scratch" you can get a lot of it out. The mark is now only .5 inch in size.

 

Thanks for that little write up and sorry for the door ding! I hate people that dont know how to hold there doors or dont think of being a little cautious when opening doors.

 

Yikes. It does look a lot better though.

 

Dang. Well it shouldn't cost toooo much to get the rest repaired though. Good job on the fix up though!

 

Excellent. These are the kind of posts that really help people out. Before and after photos. Great work.

 

RR, it now looks like you could carefully use some touchup paint to make it almost unnoticeable.

 

Good work RR.

 

Good old Liquid Stupid!

 

nice .

now fill it with touch up paint, sand it, reclear it, sand again, then buff it out and show us the disappearing door ding trick ..
