Hey there. I recently got this super small paint chip on my driver side door handle. It was annoying because it wasn't the result of me slamming my door into anything. Someone was parked too close to me and this happened solely from the pressure of the handle against the other car's side mirror as I squeezed into the door.

Is this worth using something like Dr.ColorChip to repair? I am mostly concerned about the chip getting worse over time.

I'm trying to save some money with a diy paint job but Sherwin Williams is quoting me roughly 2k for a gallon or primer, base and clear. Where do you all get your paint from to save money?

I don't want to spend $2k and the paint job turns out terribly. Thanks!

I'm wondering if anyone has tried air hammers or da sanding and die grinders?

I drive a 2014 Dodge Charger SXT+ and my door trim right below the windows are faded / ashy looking . Any ideas how I could restore them to black ? I’ve tried black trim restorer with no luck . They’re like a felt / suede material not plastic . ChatGPT suggested a dye but wanted to check here first .

If I can’t restore them how hard would it be to replace them ? Are they even replaceable ?

First off, I realize I’m kinda an idiot for attempting to do this on my own but I figured I could give it a shot. I had paint peeling and attempted to paint the front bumper of my car a few months ago and it came out tacky and not smooth at all. The color pretty much matches, but I’m trying to figure out how to get it smooth like the rest of my car. And yes, I put a clear coat on it. But it did not dry like intended.

Any advice is appreciated! 🤞

A tree fell on my truck bed and I am looking for advice on how to go about getting it out. I’ve seen vids with fancy machines but I don’t have any of that and I’m not worried about damaging the paint as it’s already messed up.
